  • Hard and low friction nitride coatings and methods for forming the same
    Patent number: 7211323
    Abstract: An improved coating material possessing super-hard and low friction properties and a method for forming the same. The improved coating material includes the use of a noble metal or soft metal homogeneously distributed within a hard nitride material. The addition of small amounts of such metals into nitrides such as molybdenum nitride, titanium nitride, and chromium nitride results in as much as increasing of the hardness of the material as well as decreasing the friction coefficient and increasing the oxidation resistance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 6, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 1, 2007
    Assignee: U Chicago Argonne LLC
    Inventors: Ali Erdemir, Mustafa Ürgen, Ali Fuat Cakir, Osman Levent Eryilmaz, Kursat Kazmanli, Ozgul Keles
