Abstract

TiN/TaN multilayers were grown by reactive magnetron sputtering on WC-Co sintered hard alloy and MgO(100) single crystal substrates. Multilayer structure and composition modulation amplitudes were studied using x-ray diffraction method. Hardness and elastic modulus were mea- sured by nanoindentation tester. For bilayer thickness (Λ) larger than 80 A˚, hardness are lower than rule-of-mixtures value of individual single layers, and increased rapidly with decreasing Λ, peaking at hardness values ≈33% higher than that at A=43 Å. As a result of analysis the inclination of applied load for indenter displacement on P-h curve (ΔP/Δh), this paper exhibits that the en- hancement of the resistance to dislocation motion and elastic anomaly due to coherency strains are responsible for the hardness change.
