The Features of Synthesis, Structure and Mechanical Properties of Alloyed Diamond-Like Coatings

The alloyed carbon coatings deposited with the pulsed cathodic arc plasma has been the subject of research. The alloying of coatings has been realized by metals (titanium, copper) and nitrogen. The morphology of alloed coatings formed with different behaviors and conditions has been determinated. The regularity of nature influence and concentration of alloying elements on the values of microhardness, internal stresses, tribotechnical properties has been established.
