The present work studies the tungsten carbide (WC/C) coatings deposited by using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), with and without gases of Ar and N2. Volatile hexacarbonyl of W was used as a precursor. Their mechanical and tribological properties were evaluated. The following values were obtained by using deposition process with N2 of HIT = 19.7 ± 4.1 GPa, EIT = 221 ± 2.1 GPa, and coefficient of friction (COF) = 0.35 ± 0.09. Secondly, deposition without the aforementioned gas obtained values of HIT = 20.9 ± 2 GPa, EIT = 292 ± 20 GPa, and COF = 0.69 ± 0.05. WC/C coatings were annealed at temperatures of 200, 500, and 800 °C, respectively. Evaluated factors include the introduced properties, the observed morphology, and the structural composition of WC/C coatings. The process of degradation was carried out by using various velocities, depending on used gases and annealing temperatures.

In this paper, we present the results of an experimental study on WC/C coatings, deposited by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition in an N2-SiH4 atmosphere, annealed at temperatures of 200, 500 and 800 °C, in which the hexacarbonyl of W was used as a precursor. During the experiments, the topography, chemical composition, morphology, as well as selected mechanical properties, such as hardness, Young’s modulus, and coefficient of friction of the WC/C coatings were analyzed. Annealing without the protective atmosphere in the mentioned temperatures caused a decrease in hardness (up to 15 ± 2.7 GPa). In addition, the coefficient of friction value increased only to 0.37 ± 0.03.

The mechanical properties of SiC thin films deposited by chemical vapor deposition process on silicon substrate are studied using nanoindentation techniques. The SiC thin films are of three different thicknesses: 1.6μm、4.5μm、9μm. In this study, nanoindentation method is preferred due to its reliability and accuracy on determining mechanical properties from indentation load-displacement data. The mechanical properties of elastic modulus and hardness are characterized. 1.6μm SiC thin film has the following values: E=345.73Gpa, H=33.71Gpa; 4.5μm SiC thin film has the following values: E=170.18Gpa, H=10.33Gpa; 9μm SiC thin film: E=167.96Gpa, H=9.48Gpa
