Thin ceramic coatings deposited on the surface of tools and machine parts by PVD methods improve considerably their tribological properties. However these hard brittle coatings can be damaged rapidly if plastic deformation initiates in the substrate near the coating-substrate interface when subject to a relatively high load. The logical way how to treat such problems is improvement of the mechanical characteristics of subsurface layers by heat treatment or thermo-chemical treatment such as plasma nitriding. The typical duplex process involves plasma nitriding and PVD coating treatment of steels. Thickness of the nitride layers depends on the activity of nitrogen in the plasma, process temperature and time. The type and thickness of nitrides can influence considerably the quality of the deposited PVD coatings and their adhesion to a nitrided substrate. High-speed steels and Cr-V ledeburitic steels were plasma nitrided and duplex-coated (pulse plasma nitriding + PVD TiN or CrN coating) at various combinations of processing parameters. The wear resistance of the non-nitrided, PVD coated and duplex-coated steel surface was examined by ring-on-plate and plate-on-plate tribological testers. The effect of subsequent PVD–coating performed on plasma nitrided specimens can be considered as very positive when the specimens were severe loaded. The tested duplex treated low-alloy steel 31CrMoV9 was pulse plasma nitrided and then coated by different PVD coatings (TiN, CrN, TiAlN and (CrN-TiN)x3). The results of tribological tests (ring-on-plate tribometer) confirmed the high wear resistance of duplex treated steels.

In this work the influence of electrolytic-plasma nitriding on the abrasive wear-resistance of R6M5 high-speed steel were under research. We registered that after electrolytic-plasma nitriding on R6M5 steel surface modified layer is formed with 20-40 μm thickness and with increased microhardness of 9000-12200 MPa. Testing mode for the nitrided samples high-speed steel on abrasive wear developed. It is established, that electrolyte-plasma nitriding allows to increase wear-resistance of R6M5 steel surface layer comparing to original. It was determined that abrasive wear-resistance of R6M5 steel surface layer is increased to 25% as a result of electrolytic plasma nitriding. Thus, studies have demonstrated the feasibility and applicability of electrolytic-plasma nitriding in order to improve cutting tools work resource, working under friction and wear conditions.

AbstractThe paper presents the results on the wear resistance of PVD coatings on cutting inserts made from sintered carbide and sialon ceramics. The exploitative properties of coatings in technological cutting trials were defined in the paper, which also examined the adhesion of coatings to the substrate, the thickness of the coating, and the microhardness. As a result, it was found that isomorphic coating with AlN-h phase of covalent interatomic bonds exhibits much better adhesion to the sialon substrate than isomorphic coating with titanium nitride TiN. These coatings assure the high wear resistance of the coated tools, and the high adhesion combined with the high microhardness and fine-grained structure assure an increase in the exploitative life of the coated tools. In the case of coatings on substrate made from sintered carbide, there was a significant influence on the properties of the tools coated with them as concerns the existence of the diffusion zone between the substrate and the coating.

The microstructure of physical vapour deposition (PVD) coatings deposited by duplex technology was investigated by Dual Beam FIB/SEM system (focused ion beam / scanning electron microscope), which allows one to examine cross sections of specimens from their surface down to the substrate. Examined were PVD coatings of nanocomposite type: duplex AlXN3 (X=Cr) and duplex nACRo3, deposited by LARC and CERC technologies. Duplex coating is a modern technology, which combines plasma nitriding and PVD coating in one cycle. The FIB analysis can be widely used in the field of study of basic materials and technological applications as it is based on highly focused ion beam which enables accurate machining of the investigated specimens and flexible processing at a micro/nanometric level. Cross sections of specimens obtained by FIB-SEMs document the arrangement of individual deposited nanomultilayers within the nanocomposite coatings and their EDS analysis in specific locations.

The effect of thermohydrogen treatment and vacuum ion–plasma nitriding on the determination of the volume and surface structure of ball heads made of Ti–6Al–4V alloy was studied. It was found that the submicrocrystalline structure formed in the head during thermohydrogen treatment makes it possible to achieve hardness values of 39–41 units HRC and a surface roughness of 0.02 μm. It was shown that the creation of a modified layer consisting of ε (TiN) and δ (Ti2N) titanium nitrides on the surface of a ball head and the solid interstitial solution of nitrogen in α-titanium makes it possible to completely eliminate material wear when testing for friction on ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. The equivalent analysis was also conducted with a ball head that had been implanted in a human body for 12 years. It was found that the change in the color of the head, from slightly golden after nitriding to metallic, is due to the formation of an oxynitride nanoscale layer on the surface. It was shown that in contrast with films made of titanium oxide, the film developed in this study has high wear resistance.
