Effects of Deposition Parameters on the Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of TiN Coatings on 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy
The 7075-T6 aluminum alloy exhibits excellent specific strength due to the presence of precipitated η′ phase, but its surface mechanical performance under demanding conditions is often limited. In this study, a horizontal cylindrical magnetron sputtering system was used to deposit TiN coatings on the surface of 7075-T6...
