Microstructure and tribological properties of Cu-doped VCN films: The role of Cu
2020
Abstract Element doping has been proved to be an effective method to improve the tribological property of hard films. In this work, C and Cu element co-doping are applied to reduce the room-temperature friction coefficient of VN film and the effect of Cu content on microstructure and tribological property of Cu-doped VCN films are discussed in detail. As expected, owing to the catalytic action of Cu, there is a transformation from sp3 C-C to sp2 C-C, which greatly affects the tribological property of Cu-doped VCN films, and with the increase of Cu content, the surface roughness and film thickness accordingly increase, and the nano-hardness has a gradual downward trend, however, the average grain size has an unexpected order: VCN-1Cu
