Abstract: | Extensive plastic deformation of titanium aluminum carbonitride/amorphous carbon nanocomposite coating at room temperature was observed in this study. Nanoindentation measurement showed that the coating hardness was 24.4 GPa with the plasticity of 57.6%. The critical load of 1.3 m coating in scratch test was beyond 100 N. The depth of the 100 N scratch track identified by microstylus profilometer was 6.7 m, while the thickness of the coating in the center of the scratch track observed by scanning electron microscopy was 0.4 m, which is only about one third of that for the as-deposited coating. The amorphous carbon with sp2 hybrid and -bonding is proposed to account for this unique plasticity. PACS 81.15.Gh; 81.07.Bc |
