TITANIUM NICKEL NIOBIUM ALLOY BARRIER FOR LOW-EMISSIVITY COATINGS

摘要

A method for making low emissivity panels, including control the composition of a barrier layer formed on a thin conductive silver layer. The barrier structure can include a ternary alloy of nickel, titanium, and niobium, which showed improvements in overall performance than those from binary barrier results. The percentage of nickel can be between 5 and 15 wt%. The percentage of titanium can be between 30 and 50 wt%. The percentage of niobium can be between 40 and 60 wt%.
