Effects of interlayer and the combination of different coating methods on the mechanical and corrosion behaviors of TiN and CrN coated on 420 stainless steel have been studied. STS 420 specimen were tempered at $300^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr in vacuum furnace. The TiN and CrN thin film with 2 ${\mu}m$ thickness were coated by arc ion plating and DC magnetron sputtering following the formation of interlayer for pure titanium and chromium with 0.2 ${\mu}m$ thickness. The microstructure and surface analysis of the specimen were conducted by using SEM, XRD and roughness tester. Mechanical properties such as hardness and adhesion also were examined. XRD patterns of TiN thin films showed that preferred TiN (111) orientation was observed. The peaks of CrN (111) and $Cr_2N$ (300) were only observed in CrN thin films deposited by arc ion plating. Both TiN and CrN deposited by arc ion plating had the higher adhesion and hardness compared to those formed by magnetron sputtering. The specimen of TiN and CrN on which interlayer deposited by magnetron sputtering and thin film deposited by arc ion plating had the highest adhesion with 22.2 N and 19.2 N. respectively. TiN and CrN samples shown the most noble corrosion potentials when the interlayers were deposited by using magnetron sputtering and the metal nitrides were deposited by using arc ion plating. The most noble corrosion potentials of TiN and CrN were found to be approximately -170 and -70 mV， respectively.

The degradation mechanism of soft magnetic properties of $Fe-Hf-N/Cr/SiO_2$ thin films reacted with a bonding glass was investigated. When $Fe-Hf-N/Cr/SiO_2$ films were annealed under $600^{\circ}C$ without the bonding glass, the compositions and the soft magnetic properties of Fe-Hf-N layers were not changed. However, after reaction with the bonding glass at $550^{\circ}C$, the soft magnetic properties of the film were degraded. At $600^{\circ}C$, the saturation magnetization of the reacted film decreased to 13.5 kG, and its coercivity increased to 4 Oe, and its effective permeability decreased to 700. It was founded that O diffused from the glass into the Fe-Hf-N layers during the reaction and generated $HfO_2$ phases. It was considered that the soft magnetic properties of the $Fe-Hf-N/Cr/SiO_2$ films reacted with the bonding glass were primarily degraded by the formation of the Fe-Hf-O-N layer of which the Fe content was below 60 $at\%$, and secondarily degraded by the Fe-Hf-O-N layer above 70 $at\%$.

스퍼터방식으로 제조한 FeZrCrN 미결정박막의 질소 유입량의 변화와 Cr 첨가량 변화에 따라 연자기특성과 내반응성 및 내식성을 조사하였다. 질소 유립량 증가에 따라 포화자속밀도는 감소하고 적 절한량(질소 유입량 3%)의 질소가 유입 되었을 때 열처리후에도 이방성 분산 감소효과 등에 의하여 우수 한 연자기특성이 출현 하였으며, 이때 보자력은 0.4 Oe, 투자율은 5 MHz에서 2600 정도를 나타내었다. FeZrN 박막에 Cr을 7.5 at.% 정도 첨가하였을때 포화자속밀도는 12.5kg까지 감소하였지만 양호한 연자기 특성이 그대로 유지되었고 Cr 첨가에 의해 현저한 내식성의 향상과 집합 glass와의 내반응성의 개선이 있었다.

Thin films of CrAlSiN were deposited on SKD11 tool steel substrate using Cr and AlSi cathodes by a cathodic arc plasma deposition system. The influence of process parameters on the deposited film properties were investigated. The oxidation characteristics of the films were studied at temperatures ranging from 800 and 1000+C up to 50 h in air. The films showed superhardness and good oxidation resistance..

Nano-multilayered $Cr_{25.2}Al_{19.5}Si_{4.7}N_{50.5}$ films were deposited on the steel substrate by cathodic arc plasma deposition. They were corroded at $900^{\circ}C$ in $Ar/1%SO_2$ gas in order to study their corrosion behavior in sulfidizing/oxidizing environments. Despite the presence of sulfur in the gaseous environment, the corrosion was governed by oxidation, leading to formation of protective oxides such as $Cr_2O_3$ and ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, where Si was dissolved. Iron diffused outward from the substrate to the film surface, and oxidized to $Fe_2O_3$ and $Fe_3O_4$. The films were corrosion-resistant up to 150 h owing to the formation of thin ($Cr_2O_3$ and/or ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$)-rich oxide layers. However, they failed when corroded at $900^{\circ}C$ for 300 h, resulting in the formation of layered oxide scales due to not only outward diffusion of Cr, Al, Si, Fe and N, but also inward movement of sulfur and oxygen.

본 연구에서는 DC magnetron 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 고정밀, 고저항 저항체 박막으로 TaNx film을 제조하였을 때 형성될 수 있는 화합물 중 TaN0.1, TaN0.8과 TaN 박막의 Rs와 TCR특성을 평가하 고 film층의 우선방향성을 XRD를 이용하여 판명한 뒤 저항체의 Rs와 TCR에 미치는 영향을 조사하였 다. TaN0.1 박막이 35$\Omega$/$\square$의 면저항값과 안정된 TCR값을 나타내는 것을 알수 있었다. 두께50~200nm 의 TaN0.1과 Alumina 기판 사이에 정(+)의 TCR을 갖는 약 50nm의 Cr층을 증착하였을 때 Rs는 180$\Omega$/ $\square$ 과 TCR는 20ppm/$^{\circ}C$인 적층박막을 제조할 수 있었다. TaN0.1, TaN0.8 과 TaN 시편에서 화합물 형성 에 따른 Ta의 결합에너지를 ESCA를 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상의 연구결과로부터 TaN0.1 film이 TaNfilm 보다 고정밀, 고저항 박막 저항체 제조에 있어 우수한 전기저항 특성을 가지며 Cr 중간층 형성 으로 TCR이 $\pm$ppm/$^{\circ}C$정도로 안정된 고정밀 다층 저항체 박막을 형성할 수 있었다.

In order to improve the low hardness and low wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, plasma carburization treatment and CrN film coating were carried out. Effects of the plasma carburization and CrN coating were analyzed and compared with the non-treated alloy by mechanical and creep tests. After plasma carburization and CrN coating treatments, the carburized layer was about 150 ${\mu}m$ in depth and CrN coated layer was about 7.5 ${\mu}m$ in thickness. Hardness value of about $H_{v}$ 402 of the non-treated alloy was improved to $H_{v}$ 1600 and 1390 by plasma carburization and CrN thin film coating, respectively. Stress exponent(n) was decreased from 9.10 in CrN coating specimen to 8.95 in carburized specimen. However, the activation energy(Q) was increased from 242 to 250 kJ/mol. It can be concluded that the static creep deformation for Ti-6Al-4V alloy is controlled by the dislocation climb over the ranges of the experimental conditions.

Thermal behavior of Cu-Cr thin alloy films has been investigated by SEM, AES, and TEM. Cu-Cr alloy films containing 3wt% Cr, 8wt% Cr have been sputter-deposited onto polyimide substrates and heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs in the various atmosphere. Before heat treatment, Cu and Cr content in the film are uniform through the thickness and oxygen content in the film is negligible. Redistribution of Cr, Cu, and O in the film due to heat treatment depends on the Cr content and heat treatment atmoshpere. There kinds of thermal behavior are ascribed to the formation of surface and interface oxides as well as internal oxidation. Hillocks are observed on the surface of Cu-Cr alloy films which have been heat treated in N2. The hillocks are composed of large grainss of Cu.

Films of CrAlN and CrZrN were deposited on a steel substrate by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering, and their oxidation behaviors were investigated. CrAlN films consisted of dense, polycrystalline CrN and AlN fine columns. The formed oxides consisted primarily of crystalline $Cr_2O_3$ incorporated with $Al_2O_3$. The oxide layers were thin and compact so as to make CrAlN films more protective than CrN films. In case of CrZrN films, Zr atoms were dissolved in the CrN phase. Zr atoms advantageously refined the columnar structure, reduced the surface roughness, and increased the micro-hardness. However, the addition of Zr did not increased oxidation resistance, mainly because Zr was not a protective element. All the deposited films displayed relatively good oxidation resistance, owing to the formation of the highly protective $Cr_2O_3$ on their surface. The $Cr_{40}Zr_9N$ and $Cr_{31}Zr_{16}N$ films oxidized to $Cr_2O_3$ as the major phase and ${\alpha}-ZrO_2$ as the minor one, whereas the CrN film oxidized to $Cr_2O_3$.

The quaternary ZrCrAIN nanocomposite thin films are synthesized by Closed-Field Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering (CFUBMS). Microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrCrAIN nanocomposite thin films are studied. Grain refinement of ZrCrAIN nanocomposite thin film is occurred by controlling $N_{2}$ partial pressure. Maximum hardness value according to the various $N_{2}$ partial pressures is obtained at 45 GPa. It is also conformed that critical value of the grain size (d) needs to achieve the maximum hardness.
