Abstract
High entropy alloy and nitride coatings from the Cr-Hf-Mo-Ta-W system were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from elemental segmented targets. The study aimed to investigate the effects of deposition parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of this novel multicomponent material. Samples without nitrogen flow and under different nitrogen flows were prepared in two series of samples prepared at ambient temperature and at 750 °C. The proportion of metallic elements varied with increasing nitrogen flow. The nitrogen content revealed saturation below 50 % under high flow. The thin films showed a different microstructure depending on the deposition conditions, from a single nanocrystalline bcc phase (a = 3.174 Å) in the metallic sample prepared at 750 °C without nitrogen flow, through an amorphous structure under low nitrogen flow to a major nanocrystalline NaCl-type fcc nitride phase (a = 4.186–4.268 Å, in agreement with the ab-initio predicted values) in samples deposited under high nitrogen flow. The cross-section morphology of the amorphous sample was very homogeneous, while the samples with a major fcc nitride phase showed a typical columnar morphology. Overall, the films revealed hardness and Young's modulus up to 20.3 GPa and 471 GPa, respectively, for the fcc nitride coating. The experimental values of Young's modulus were in good agreement with the values of directional [100] Young's modulus obtained by ab-initio calculations. The results of our research showed that coatings consisting of bcc and fcc phases could be produced by magnetron sputtering with interesting mechanical properties such as high Young's modulus. Moreover, the results contribute to the understanding of the influence of the nitrogen flow on the microstructural features such as crystallite size, vacancies in the lattice, and lattice parameter change.
