Impact of Deposition Power and Gas Flow Ratio on the Tribological Properties of Titanium Vanadium Nitride Thin Films
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Magnetron sputtering was used for producing titanium vanadium nitride (TiVN) coatings on brass substrates. In this research, we investigate how changing the sputtering power and nitrogen:argon (N2:Ar) gas ratio affects the structural and tribological properties of TiVN coatings. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to examine TiVN coating surface morphology. Both variants showed a gradual increase in the intensity of the TiVN coatings’ (111) and (222) peaks. The TiVN coatings’ tribological properties were examined using a pin-on-disc tribometer with varying loads, speeds, and sliding distances. The wear rates of TiVN-coated brass pins were in the range of 2.5 × 10−4 to 9.14 × 10−4 mm3/Nm depending on load, sliding distance, and gas ratio variation, when compared to the wear rates of TiVN-coated brass pins deposited at various powers, which ranged from 1.76 × 10−3 to 5.87 × 10−3 mm3/Nm.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
