Abstract

The method of Ion Beam Enhanced Deposition, (IBED), was used to produce hard films of i-BN, i-SixNy and i-TixNy. The friction, hardness, adhesion, and wear behavior of these nitride coalings were examined using a ball-ondisc Friction/wear tester. The friction and wear results were sensitive to stoichiometry and the presence of impurities (e.g., hydrogen) in the film as well as the choice of ball material (400C stainless steel or silicon nitride).
