Functional layers comprising Ni-inclusive ternary alloys and methods of making the same

摘要

Certain example embodiments relate to Ni-inclusive ternary alloy being provided as a barrier layer for protecting an IR reflecting layer comprising silver or the like. The provision of a barrier layer comprising nickel, chromium, and/or molybdenum and/or oxides thereof may improve corrosion resistance, as well as chemical and mechanical durability. In certain examples, more than one barrier layer may be used on at least one side of the layer comprising silver. In still further examples, a NixCryMoz-based layer may be used as the functional layer, rather than or in addition to as a barrier layer, in a coating.

1. A method of making a coated article comprising a coating supported by a glass substrate, the method comprising:
disposing a first dielectric layer on the substrate; disposing an IR reflecting layer comprising 63-67 wt. % Ni, 1-2 wt. % Cr, 25-30 wt. % Mo, 1-5 wt. % W, and 1-5 wt. % Co over and contacting the first dielectric layer; and disposing a second dielectric layer over and contacting the IR reflecting layer.
