摘要: Coatings of CrN, TiN, ZrN, TaN and NbN were deposited using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering system with two different degrees unbalancing to investigate the effect degree on both plasma characteristics film properties. The was determined by extensive characterization magnetic field fluxes in X-Z plane perpendicular target. Then, parameters, such as electron temperature, potential, density ion current density, obtained for each target a function unbalance coefficient. microstructure, hardness, corrosion wear resistant measured determine these results suggested that unbalancing, through variations induced bombardment ionization, had strong influence microstructure preferred orientation.
