Ra. Andrievski et al., SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF NANOCRYSTALLINE NITRIDES AND BORIDES, Nanostructured materials, 6(1-4), 1995, pp. 353-356
The consolidation of TiN ultrafine powders by application of high pres
sures and high temperatures is described. The evolution of structure a
nd properties is discussed. Results are reported of a hardness test in
volving high loads, for characterization of boride PVD films.
