| Description | Sputtered Cr3C2, Cr3Si2, and MoSi2 wear-resistant films (0.05 to 3.5 microns thick) were deposited on metal and glass surfaces. Electron transmission, electron diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy were used to determine the microstructural appearance. Strong adherence was obtained with these sputtered films. Internal stresses and defect crystallographic growth structures of various configurations within the film have progressively more undesirable effects for film thicknesses greater than 1.5 microns. Sliding contact and rolling element bearing tests were performed with these sputtered films. Bearings sputtered with a duplex coating (0.1-micron-thick undercoating of Cr3Si2 and subsequently 0.6-micron coating of MoS2) produced marked improvement over straight MoS2 films. |
