Abstract: | A combination of fracture measurements and photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to investigate the bond strength of selenium evaporated onto α-brass substrates. Failure of thermally evaporated deposits occurs at an SeCuO interface layer even though selenium is chemically bonded to the oxide. It is shown that the interface oxide complex is removed during an ion plating process and that as a consequence the Se-brass bond strength increases significantly. However, the bulk adhesion properties of thermally deposited and ion-plated specimens are found not to be significantly different. This anomaly is discussed in terms of crack propagation, dispersion of the interface oxide during ion plating and failure at a new highly bonded CuSe interface layer. |
