Characteristics of the Structure, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of a Mo-MoN Nanocomposite Coating Deposited on the Ti6Al4V Alloy by Magnetron Sputtering.

Mo-MoN nanocomposite coating was produced by reactive magnetron sputtering of a molybdenum target, in the atmosphere, of Ar and N gases. Coating was deposited on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. Presented are the results of analysis of the XRD crystal structure, microscopic SEM, TEM and AFM analysis, measurements of hardness, Young's modulus, and adhesion.
