All flms were deposited on stainless-steel substrates by RF magnetron sputtering from stochiometric HfB2 target in argon atmosphere. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efects of the bias potential on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties. These parameters strongly depend on the experimental conditions. X-ray difraction analysis indicated the diference in microstructure: from dense hexagonal structure with (0001) preferred orientation of nanocrystallites to quasi-amorphous with blurred HfB2 phase peaks. All coatings were measured using nanoindentation (using Berkovich tip), tribology (ballon-disk) and nano-scratch (friction). Coatings with a thickness of 1–2 µm had a signifcant dependence of properties on the microstructure: hardness drastically increased from 8 to 45 GPa, H/E ratio and elastic recovery changed respectively: 0.04–0.15 and 0.26–0.72. popup.nrat_date 2025-05-12 Close
