Data confidence 85 high

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The possibility of formation of nanocrystalline Ti-Al-N coatings using the method of ion-plasma deposition is demonstrated. The mechanical and tribotechnical characteristics of the coatings in comparison with TiN coating are studied. Ti-Al-N nanocomposite coatings possess high hardness (35 GPa) and higher wear resistance and lower wear capacity as compared to TiN coating. For a grain size of 12–15 nm the nanostructural Ti-Al-N coating has the following elemental composition: Ti ≈ 60 at %, N ≈ 30 at %, Al ≈ 10 at %. The phase composition of the coating represents the solid solution (Ti, Al)N. For this elemental and phase composition and nanograin size maximal hardness and elasticity modulus of the coating are found.
