Abstract:
      The work aims to study the impact of low substrate rotation speed on microstructure and physical properties of nanostructured multilayer. MoTiAlN/MoN/Mo composite coatings were deposited on silicon substrates by cathodic multi-arc ion plating, and the phase structure, morphology, component and nanohardness of coatings species were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and nano-hardness tester. XRD results indicated that the coatings deposited at various substrate rotation speeds comprised hcp-MoN and fcc-(Ti,Al)N phases and the crystallinity was better at higher substrate rotation speed. SEM and TEM images confirmed that the mean modulation period and total physical thickness of superlattice TiAlN/MoN coatings with a sharp interface deposited at 2 r/min were 26 nm and 1.15 μm, respectively and the interface was clear. The nanohardness and Young modulus were up to (30±2) GPa and (500±30) GPa, respectively. RBS along with SIMNRA program proves to be a good method to evaluate the atomic concentrations, physical thicknesses of individual sublayers as well as the modulation periods of superlattice coatings quantitatively and provide reliable characterization for nanomultilayers.
