The role of aluminum nitride (AlN) as a buffer layer on the nucleation and growth of diamond on silicon and steel substrates during hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HF-CVD) has been investigated systematically. The scanning Auger electron microscopy (AES) is employed to study chemistry and content of carbon on the surface and in subsurface regions of AlN as a function of HF-CVD parameters. It is found that AlN offers an excellent diffusion barrier for carbon over a wide range of temperature and hydrocarbon content of CVD gas environment, with simultaneous inhibition of graphitization. It also facilitates nucleation of diamond phase. The surface reactions between AlN and carbon are discussed in terms of hydrogen-assisted phase transformations. We have developed a two-step procedure to obtain a continuous diamond film on steel substrates. The characteristic features of AlN have been exploited to obtain adherent and graphite-free diamond deposits on various types of steels, including low carbon steel, tool steel, high speed steel, and bearing steel.

TiN coatings were deposited on AISI M2 high-speed-steel (HSS) substrates by multi-arc ion plating technique. The thickness of substrate was 1.0 mm and five thicknesses of TiN coatings were 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0 μm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used for measuring residual stresses. The stresses along five different directions (Ψ=0°, 20.7°, 30°, 37.8° and 45°) have been measured by recording the peak positions of TiN (220) reflection for each 2θ at different tilt angles Ψ. Residual compressive stresses present in the TiN coatings. Furthermore, the results revealed that the value of the residual stresses in TiN coatings was high. While the coatings thickness changed from 3 to 11 μm, the residual stresses varied from -3.22 to -2.04 GPa, the intrinsic stresses -1.32 to -0.14 GPa, the thermal stresses -1.86 to -1.75 GPa. The residual stresses in TiN coatings showed a nonlinear change. When the coatings thickness was about 8 μm, the residual stresses in TiN coatings reached to the maximum value.

Boron nitride coatings have been deposited onto high-speed steel substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique combined with RF-discharge. In order to improve adhesion and reduce internal stresses, substrates were subjected to gas nitriding. The structure and morphology of coatings were investigated applying atomic force microscopy (AFM) and FTIR spectroscopy. Nanohardness and elastic modulus were examined employing a nanoanalyzer (CETR). On the basis of the conducted experiments, stable, crystalline, multiphase coatings have been obtained. It has been proved that morphology, structure and mechanical properties strongly depend on the parameters of the PLD process; in particular, the temperature of the substrate has a crucial influence on the properties of BN coatings.

The aim of the present work was to study the mechanical properties of thin nanocomposite Mo-B-C coatings consisting of nanocrystalline Mo2BC embedded in amorphous Mo-B-C matrix. Magnetron sputtering of three targets, B4C, C and Mo, was used for coatings preparation. The Mo-B-C coatings were deposited on high speed steel substrates. The fracture resistance of Mo-B-C coatings was studied by both indentation and dynamic impact tests. The impact tests enabled us to predict the load limit causing the coating destruction.

C-B-N diffusion layers on the samples of wrought and as-cast high-speed steels of AISI M2 grade have been developed thermo-chemically. Thermo-chemical treatment was carried out after full heat treatment and included holding for 1 and 3 h at 550°C in order to produce different C-B-N diffusion layers. The microstructure and component depth profiles in the C-B-N diffusion layers were studied by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. It was shown that well adhered (diffusion controlled) carbon-boron-nitrogen layers with nanosized microstructure can be thermo-chemically developed at 550°C for 1 h on the wrought and as-cast M2 high-speed steel substrates. In the samples made of the wrought M2 high-speed steel and held at 550°C for 3 h the C-B-N diffusion layer develops in the fiber-like morphology.

ABSTRACTAbout 2 μm thick commercial coatings of TiN on high speed steel substrates were implanted at RT with Ar ions of 95 keV energy to doses between 0.1–1.0×1017 ions/cm2. An ultramicrohardness machine was used to measure hardness, and a (sapphire) ball-on-disk machine to measure wear, friction and adhesion. Hardness enhancements up to about 50% were observed as dose increased. However, at the highest dose, hardness reduced by nearly 2 times the unimplanted value. Friction coefficient and relative wear are correlated and reduce with ion dose. Films undergo brittle fracture during sliding tests. These results are found to be very sensitive to small changes in relative humidity. All implants lead to improved wear and adhesion as compared to an unimplanted surface. These results are discussed in terms of ion damage, accumulation of Ar gas bubbles and a possible break-up of the TiN phase during ion bombardment.
