Titanium-beryllium residual strain analysis: Role of deposition variables on texture and strength

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6884842
The state of stress in vapor deposited films is dependent upon several deposition variables, such as temperature, flux rates, and background vacuum, as well as materials selected for the coating and the substrate. The state of stress and strain at the coating-substrate interface influences the adhesive strength. The dependence of the adhesive strength upon the texture of the deposited coating and the state of strain at the interface are examined with respect to the deposition variables of flux rate and substrate temperature. Titanium coated beryllium substrates are analyzed by x-ray diffraction and mechanical testing.
