TiN coating with thickness of 2.5μm was deposited on high-speed steel (HSS) substrate by pulsed bias cathodic arc ion plating. The surface and cross-section morphologies, composition depth profile and phase structure were characterized by FESEM, GDOES and XRD, respectively. Scratch test for adhesion evaluation, microhardness test for hardness measurement, and potentiodynamic polarization for corrosion resistance test were used. The results show that the TiN coating exhibits smooth surface, dense columnar grain structure and an obviously preferred orientation of TiN(111). The adhesion of the coating to substrate is exceeded more than 100N. The hardness of the coating is about 26 GPa. The low corrosion current density (Icorr) and rather high corrosion potential (Ecorr) value imply that the TiN coating displays a good corrosion resistance in 0.5mol/l NaCl solution. However, pitting is still existed due to the defects in the coating.

Purpose Ti-Si-N coating with nanocomposite structure is a promising protective coating for cutting tools which will be subject to high temperature oxidation during service. This study aims to investigate the thermal stability of Ti-Si-N coatings and lays the foundation for its application in high speed dry cutting. Design/methodology/approach Nanocomposite Ti-Si-N coating was deposited on stainless substrate and silicon wafer (100) by Ti90Si10 alloy target by using cathodic arc ion plating. The microstructure of Ti-Si-N coating had been detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Findings The results suggested that the coating was TiN nanocrystals with a diameter of 6.3 nm surrounded by amorphous Si3N4. The oxidation test was conducted under 550, 650, 750, 800, 850, 900 and 950°C for 2 h. The structure evolution was observed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS), XRD and XPS. The results indicated that rutile has been formed at 650°C, while Si3N4 began to oxidized at 800°C. The grain size of TiN increased from 6.3 to 13 nm as the samples oxidized from 550 to 800. Micro-crack also formed in samples oxidized over 900°C. Originality/value Ti-Si-N coating, in this study, was deposited by cathodic arc ion plating using alloy target at high-bias voltage. The oxidation temperature ranged from 500 to 950°C with TiN coating as reference.

Deposition Parameters

Ti,Cr)N films were fabricated on the well-polished high-speed-steel substrate under various deposition conditions by arc ion plating. X-ray diffraction was employed to characterize the phase and microstructure of the films, and the preferred orientation of the crystalline plane was discussed in terms of negative bias and nitrogen flow, respectively. The morphology of the films was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The size and density of macro-particles were compared for different bias and nitrogen flow. The mechanical properties of the films were investigated. The hardness and elastic module were tested by the XP nanoindenter. The results show that the size as well as the number of the macro-particles decreases with increasing negative bias, presenting a smoother surface. The films have preferred (111) plane at low biases but (200) plane at high ones. The hardness and elastic modulus of (Ti,Cr)N films increases with increasing negative bias. Larger hardness can be achieved by increasing nitrogen flow. It is found that the mechanical properties, such as hardness and elastic module of (Ti, Cr)N films are better than those of TiN films, according to the comparison of the experimental results. It indicates that the mechanical properties of TiN can be enhanced by doping Cr. The mechanism is also discussed and analysed by taking deposition parameters into account.

ABSTRACTAmorphous diamond-like carbon (ADLC) coatings are deposited on cemented carbides, high speed steels (HSS) and other steels, using arc-ion plating. The paper describes both the problems and the potential of this process with its many influencing parameters. It also details a number of properties of hydrogen-free a-C films deposited at coating temperatures of 200°C; as an example, a tribological application is described.

Tin Thin Films

TiN thin films were deposited by Arc Ion Plating(AIP) with or without Magnetic Filter(AIP or MFAIP) on silicon(Si) and high-speed steel(HSS) substrates,respectively.Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM),X-ray Diffraction(XRD),nanoindentation and microscratch tests were applied for microstructure and property investigation.SEM data showed that the AIP films are plagued with macro-particles(MPs),while the MFAIP films have no or less MPs.XRD showed that the MFAIP films have more obvious preferred orientation at (111) than the AIP films.Scratch Crack Propagation Resistance(CPRs) was introduced to evaluate the film adhesion properties in a scratch test.MFAIP films had higher adhesion.AIP films were susceptible to failure as the CPRs was lower.The MFAIP films had higher hardness than the AIP ones, due to the reason of less MPs in MFAIP films and more obvious preferred orientation.It was proposed that the MPs were effectively removed with the magnetic filter, so the properties of the MFAIP films were greatly improved.

Improve Wear Resistance

Multi-arc ion plating technique was used to fabricate TiN film on the surface of high speed steel (HSS) to improve its wear resistance. The structure and morphology of TiN film were analyzed by XRD and SEM,and the bonding strength between the film and substrate was studied by the scratch tester. The results show that the thin film formed on the surface of the substrate consists of compact TiN. There are some white spots and black spots on the surface of the film. The bonding strength between the film and the substrate reaches 43 N/mm2, which correlates to formation of a pseudo diffusion layer. The tribological experimental results show that plating TiN film can greatly improve wear resistance of HSS.

Titanium Nitride Film

An adherent nano-superhard titanium nitride ( TiN ) film on the substrate of Cr 12 Mo 4 V high speed steel was prefabricated in a vacuum cathode multi-arc ion-plating system. Microhardness, film-to-substrate adhesion, and microstructure of the film were investigated typically using Vickers hardometer, scratch tester, and X-ray diffractometer. Results show that: (i) the achievable film microhardness is in the range of 35–45 GPa; (ii) the critical load (Lc) of the superhard TiN film is approximately 64 N; (iii) the nm scale mean main grain sizes of the film are approximately of 12.7 nm for TiN 111, 19.7 nm for TiN 200, and 9.6 nm for TiN 220; and (iv) compared with the standard TiN film with the hardness of 22 GPa, the accomplishment of the nano-superhard TiN film may be due to (a) the ion bombardment induced residual stress within the film, and (b) the combined effect of the decrease of crystalline size and preferred orientation in the plane (111).
