Px. Yan et al., A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR DEPOSITION OF TITANIUM CARBONITRIDE FILMS AT ROOM-TEMPERATURE BY HIGH-ENERGY DENSITY PULSE PLASMA, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 95(1), 1995, pp. 55-58
Thin films of titanium carbonitride were deposited by high energy dens
ity pulse plasma technique onto a No. 45 steel substrate at room tempe
rature. The pulse plasma was generated from a coaxial plasma gun. The
plasma has a high electron temperature, high electron density, high tr
anslational speed and a short width of pulse. The mechanical propertie
s of No. 45 steel were improved greatly by deposition titanium carboni
tride films.
