Abstract

Slight variation of the coatings in the ramp layer between Cr and a-C:H resulted in a good or poor adhesion behaviour. Both coatings exhibited in the ramp layer a quasi amorphous matrix structure with short-range ordered substructures. No crystalline chromium carbides could be detected in these regions. Focused investigations of the chemical gradients with Energy Filtered TEM (EFTEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectrometry revealed a clear difference in the chemical composition of the ramp layers. Smooth gradients together with a nanocomposite structure seem to provide a high stability of the ramp layer against delamination. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
