dc.description.abstractNovel Cr-alloyed MoSi<inf>2</inf>-based nanocomposite coatings were successfully synthesized onto Ti-6Al-4V substrates by a double glow discharge plasma technique. The architecture of the nanocomposite coatings exhibited a hierarchical structure, consisting of equiaxed C40-MoSi<inf>2</inf> with a bimodal grain size distribution and strip-shaped Mo<inf>5</inf>Si<inf>3</inf> grains segregated to the boundaries of submicron MoSi<inf>2</inf> grains. The results showed that the toughness of the MoSi<inf>2</inf>-based nanocomposite coatings depended strongly upon their hierarchical structure and the magnitude of compressive residual stresses in the nanocomposite coatings. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
