Comparison of mechanical properties of Ag/W1-xTixB2.5 and pure silver coatings deposited by PLD/HIPIMS method

Transition metal borides are attracting increasing interest due to their unique properties.

Transition metal borides are attracting increasing interest due to their unique properties. They are not only characterised by very high hardness, but also considerable chemical and thermal stability. Silver, on the other hand, is a good material for increasing electrical and…
