  • COATING
    Publication number: 20100119819
    Abstract: A nanolayered coating, having a thickness of less than 100 nm, comprising nanolayers of: (i) TiN; and (ii) CrN, MoN, AlN, or AlN and CrN. The coating has an erosion rate, according to ASTM G76, at a particle velocity of 60 m/s and an impingement angle of 90°, of no greater than 4.0×10?3 mm3/g. Also provided is a monolithic TiAlN coating. Such coatings may be useful for erosion protection of aircraft or gas turbine components; or wear protection of gears, cutting tools including machine cutting tools and surgical cutting tools, or other metallic surfaces.

  • Cadmium tin oxide multi-layer laminate and producing method thereof
    Patent number: 7648783
    Abstract: A cadmium tin oxide (Cd1?xSnxO) multi-layer laminate is disclosed. The laminate comprises: a substrate; and a layer of Cd1?xSnxO which is not an epitaxial structure; wherein, the composition of Sn/(Cd+Sn) is 1˜20%. The method for producing the Cd1?xSnxO multi-layer laminate is also described here. The method comprises steps of: (a) providing metal or oxide targets for sputtering films of Cd1?xSnxO; and (b) sputtering films of Cd1?xSnxO from the targets onto the substrate; wherein the composition of Sn/(Cd+Sn) is 1˜20%.
