| Hard and tough boride and nitride-based coatings prepared by advanced PVD techniques | |
| Program: | SRDA |
| Project leader: | doc. RNDr. Lofaj František, DrSc. |
| Annotation: | The project aims at the increase of fracture toughness of thin hard PVD boride- and nitride based coatings deposited using advance sputtering techniques including HiPPMS and HiTUS while keeping their high thermal and oxidation resistance by means of employment of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The main idea is based on a „new design“ of hard coatings including simultaneous contribution from the modification of chemical composition, morphology and structure of the coatings via exploitation of the potential of structure control provide by HiPPMS and HiTUS technologies with high level of sputtered material ionization and high density of working gas plasma, respectively. Both technologies result in the coatings with high densities and allow us to modify the nanostructures, size of the nanocrystallites, modify chemical composition etc. and subsequently, to obtain different physical properties of the coatings. The activities of the project are focused on the development of transition metals-based boride and nitride coatings with improved mechanical (hardness > 30 GPa) and tribological properties (coefficient of friction < 0.3) for extreme conditions (> 1000°C, aggressive oxidation environment, etc.). The main effort will be oriented toward the elimination of the main drawbacks of hard coatings, i.e. toward the increase of their inherently low fracture toughness and increase of their oxidation resistance without hampering their hardness via understanding of the mechanisms of nanostructure evolution, decomposition of the high entropy multicomponent solid solutions, formation of stable phases and their relationships to mechanical and tribological properties. The research activities include also the correlations of the experimental results with the ab initio predictions based on theoretical models related to atomic structure and electronic configuration of the studied systems. |

| Annotation: | Extension of lifetime and enhancing the thermal stability of steel used for construction of exhaust pipes, heat exchangers in waste incinerators, and casting and melting aggregates in steel and glass production can be achieved via suitable anti-corrosion coatings. The aim of this project is development of new types of composite anti-corrosion protective layers, based on ceramics prepared by controlled pyrolysis of organosilicon precursors. The use of organosilicon precursors facilitates application of conventional coating technologies, such as spray and dip-coating, with subsequent pyrolysis and conversion of the precursor to amorphous ceramics. Increased thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and minimisation of volume changes related to conversion of the organic precursor to ceramics will be achieved through the addition of suitable active and passive oxide glass fillers prepared by flame synthesis in the form of microspheres.The flame synthesis facilitates the preparation of glasses with high melting point, which ensures increase of the maximum operation temperature of the coating up to 1400 oC, as well as increased oxidation and corrosion resistance of prepared coatings, optimum compatibility of the filler with ceramic matrix and metallic substrate and, due to spherical shape of glass microparticles, also negligible influence on the rheology of the system polymer-filler in the course of coating on metallic substrate. |

The main idea is to create new nanostructural systems based on the known 2D and 3D nanocomposite systems (TiB2, Ti-B-N, Ti-Al-N, Cr-Al-N, W-C, W-C-N) doped with additional elements (Ta, V, Y, W, Nb, Si, B a pod.), which will increase toughness and crack resistance of the coatings. They will simultaneously create active barriers supressing oxidation and thus, reduce mechanical properties degradation of the coatings and/or coated substrate at elevated temperatures. The work, which is a direct continuation of the previous project APVV 0520- 10, also involves the investigation of the relationships among the deposition parameters, resulting structure and properties of new systems for hard coatings and basic understanding of the mechanisms of the nanostructure formation, metastable phase decomposition, formation of stable structures, etc. in the case of novel deposition technologies with high degree of ionization of the sputtered material. |

After the discovery of graphene with its unique mechanical and electrical properties the investigation of graphene as a filler of different materials has started. Present research confirms the significant improvement of the mechanical and electrical properties of the polymer with graphene filler.
