  • Nitrogen alloyed MoSe▫$_2$▫ coatings [Elektronski vir] : role of optimized morphology, structure and mechanical properties on diverse environment sliding performance
    Yaqub, Talha Bin ...
    Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) coatings are gaining increasing interest among the scientific community as eco-friendly solutions for reducing friction, improving energy conservation, and ... lowering carbon footprints. N-alloyed MoSe▫$_2$▫ coatings (MoSeN), a subset of TMDs, remain largely underexplored, with no research on their frictional performance across various sliding environments. Herein, an in-depth analysis of DC-magnetron sputtered MoSeN coatings is presented, with N content varying from 0 to 42 at%. Investigation of composition, morphological features, crystal structure, mechanical strength and sliding performance are accessed. Our findings revealed that N additions resulted in increased compactness, amorphous structure and hardness of ∼4.6 GPa, and these improvements remained consistent despite compositional variations. The sliding competency was evaluated under six different conditions, revealing promising results in ambient-air and dry-N▫$_2$▫ atmospheres at room conditions and 100 °C. At 200 °C, the sliding performance in ambient-air was better than dry-N2. Friction coefficient for N-alloyed coatings was relatively close, ranging between 0.03 and 0.06, except for a dry-N▫$_2$▫ environment at 200 °C. Nevertheless, wear rate showed slight variations, with higher values observed in dry-N2 at 100 °C and 200 °C but remained within a specific range of 1–7 × 10▫$^{-7}$▫ mm▫$^3$▫/Nm for all other conditions. This study highlights the potential of MoSeN coatings to be scaled for industrial applications, offering a roadmap for reducing the inherent limitations of PVD sputtering.
