PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Jurči, Peter AU - Bílek, Pavel TI - Cr2N - Ag Thin Films - a Short Review DP - 2016 Aug 1 TA - Manufacturing Technology Journal PG - 712--720 VI - 16 IP - 4 AID - 10.21062/ujep/x.2016/a/1213-2489/MT/16/4/712 IS - 12132489 AB - The current paper summarizes briefly the results obtained by comprehensive investigations of magnetron sputtered Cr2N thin films with small additions of silver, whereas the pure Cr2N is used as a reference material. The main aspects reported here are: growth rate of the films, their growth manner, phase constitution, mechanical properties being represented by Young modulus and nanohardness, adhesion on the substrate made from Cr-V ledeburitic steel having a hardness of 60 HRC, tribological performance and effect on the mechanical properties of the substrate.
