Abstract
⺠Evaluation of tool steel coatings based on NbC and Nb(C,N) compounds. ⺠Coatings produced by magnetron sputtering. ⺠Deposition pressure and mainly bias increase films' mechanical properties, due to microstructure densification. ⺠Under the optimized conditions: hardness of 37 GPa and elastic modulus of 400 GPa. ⺠Hardness and modulus vary linearly with N substitution for C.
