subjected to thermo-mechanical stress. Nanocomposite Ti–B–N based coatings have high
hardness, while their behavior at elevated temperatures can be enhanced through the
addition of other elements. Mechanical properties and oxidation behavior of Ti–Cr–B–N and
Ti–Al–Si–B–N coatings, deposited through ion implantation assisted magnetron sputtering
on Si are presented. Microstructure investigation by XRD and TEM, hardness and Young's …
