Description Preparation of coatings simultaneously exhibiting high hardness and enhanced fracture resistance is a hot topic, as nowadays used ceramic protective coatings show difficulties to cope with increased demands due to their inherent brittleness. Material exhibiting seemingly contradictory combination of mechanical properties like high hardness and moderate ductility enhancing the fracture resistance - was recently predicted by ab initio calculations in the crystalline X2BC system. The presented study is focused on the study of the influence of the C/W ratio on the microstructure, the content of different chemical bonds and the mechanical properties of WBC coatings prepared by magnetron sputtering at moderate temperature.
