Nanocomposite thin film hard coatings and metastable alloys for engineering applications including cutting tools
By careful control of the deposition parameters mixed nitrides of two materials have been formed which have exceptionally small grain size and appear to have very high values of hardness which survive temperatures in the range 600-1000 o C. A thorough fundamental study of these important new materials and their applications is continuing as part of an EPSRC programme.
