  • Boron nitride films were synthesized with $N_2$ion flux of low energy, up to 100 eV, at different substrate temperatures of no heating, 200, 400, 500, and $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. Boron was supplied by e-beam evaporation at the rate of $1.5\AA$/sec. For all the conditions, hexagonal BN (h-BN) phase was mainly synthesized and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that (002) planes of h-BN phase were aligned vertical to the Si substrate. The maximum alignment occurred around $400^{\circ}C$. In addition to major h-BN phase, transmission electron diffraction (TED) rings identified the formation of cubic BN (c-BN) phase. But HRTEM showed no distinct and continuous c-BN layer. These results suggest that c-BN phase may form in a scattered form even when h-BN phase is mainly synthesized under small momentum transfer by bombarding ions, which are not reconciled with the macro compressive stress model for the c-BN formation.

  • Diamondlike carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited on alumina ceramic seals using a plasma immersion ion deposition technique (PIID). Then they were subjected to tribological tests using a pin-on-disc tribometer under a high load (1.3 GPa) and under elevated temperatures up to 400C. Coefficients of friction (COFs) were recorded and compared with that of the untreated alumina while the wear tracks were analyzed using SEM with EDS to characterize the DLC films. To enhance the DLC adhesion to the substrate, various interlayers including Si and Cr were deposited using the PIID process or an ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) method. It was observed that the DLC coating, if adhering well to the substrate, reduced the COFs significantly, from 0.4-0.8 for the uncoated alumina to about 0.05-0.1, within the tested temperature range. The adhesion was determined by the interlayer type and possibly by the application method. Cr interlayer did not perform as well as the Si interlayer. This could also be due to the fact that the Cr interlayer and the subsequent DLC coating had to be done in two different processing systems, while both the Si interlayer and the subsequent DLC film were deposited in one system without breaking the chamber. The coating failure mode was found to be delamination between the Cr and the alumina substrate. In contrast, the Si interlayer with proper DLC deposition procedures resulted in very good adhesion and hence excellent tribological performance. Further study may lead to future DLC applications of ceramic seals.

  • Using a surface modification technique, ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) of Ti thin film it becomes possible to prepare an active ceramic surface to braze $Al_2O_3$-STS304 with conventional Ag-Cu eutectic composition filler metal. Researches on bonding formations at interfaces of ceramic joints were mainly related on the development of filler metals to ceramic, the process parameters, and clarifications of reaction products. From the results, the reactive brazing is a very convenient technique compared to the conventional Mn-Mo method. However melting point of reactive filler is still higher than that of Ag-Cu eutectic and it forms the brittle inter metallic compound. Recently several new approaches are introduced to overcome the main shortcomings of the reactive metal brazing in ceramic-metal, metal vapor vacuum arc ion source was introduced to implant the reactive element directly into the ceramics surface, and sputter deposition with sputter etching for the deposition of active material.
