  • Publication number: 20120156395
    Abstract: Ni-based refractory metallic glass coatings utilizing periodic table group five element vanadium in combination with other group 5 or 6 elements, particularly tantalum, chromium, or molybdenum, can be formed via co-sputtering with proper control of carrier gas pressure and/or bias voltage. The alloy forms fully amorphous coatings that are not predicted by the usual glass forming ability (GFA) criteria. These alloys exhibit high thermal stability, hardness values greater than TiN, smooth surface finishes, and a wide processing window.
    Type: Application
