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.

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.

ABSTRACTAbout 2 μm thick commercial coatings of TiN on high speed steel substrates were implanted at room temperature with 95 keV carbon to nominal doses between 1 × 1017 and 8×1017 ions cm-2. An ultra-microhardness apparatus (UMIS-2000) was used to measure hardness, and a pin-on-disc machine (CSEM Tribometer) with a sapphire ball was used to measure wear, friction and adhesion. Carbon implantation induced a significant improvement in ultra-microhardness, friction coefficient and wear properties. The surface microhardness increases monotonically by up to 115% until a critical dose φ crit is reached. Beyond this dose the hardness decreases, but remains higher than that of unimplanted sample. A lower friction coefficient and a longer transition period towards a steady state condition were obtained by implantation. An improvement of up to four times in the wear is obtained after carbon implantation. Topology studies with SEM show a change in the mode of wear. The changes in tribomechanical properties are discussed in terms of radiation damage and possible second phase formation.
