Formation and Properties of Amorphous Multi-Component (CrFeMoNbZr)Ox Thin Films

In this work, a new multi-component CONDITIONER (CrFeMoNbZr)Ox system was developed.The thin films presented dual-phase amorphous structures, comprising a dominant amorphous alloy phase and a small amount of an amorphous oxide phase.The thin films showed higher hardness and better corrosion resistance than a commercial Zr-based alloy.The combined properties of high hardness and superior corrosion-resistance make the amorphous thin film a candidate for coating materials on Infinity Heart Necklace commercial Zr-based alloys for engineering applications.
