Abstract
This paper reports experimental results of a comparative study for mec hanical and tribological properties of permalloy (NiFe) and magnetical ly soft high moment FeTaN sputtered thin films. It was observed that t he hardness, elastic modulus and wear resistance of FeTaN films are al l superior to those of NiFe permalloy films. AFM observations on unwor n films and worn surfaces of a wear scar revealed that pit formation m ay contribute to wear damage mechanisms for low load abrasive wear.
