Abstract
Chromia and chromia alumina coatings were produced by reactive pulsed dc magnetron sputtering in an argon oxygen ambient. Both the chromia and the chromia-alumina coatings were found to be rhombohedral hexagonal. X-ray diffraction data showed the formation of a solid solution between the two oxides at temperatures as low as 220 °C. Alpha alumina exhibits extraordinarily high hot hardness, high stiffness and excellent high temperature wear resistance. Films were deposited in 5 mTorr total pressure at a source to substrate distance of 100 mm. The substrates were at floating potential and the temperature was 250 °C. The influence of oxygen partial pressure on the microstructure of CrOx coatings was investigated.
