AbstractMechanical tests of PVD coatings made on steel 310S were carried out within this study by the scratch test method. It was found that the additions of Al and Ir caused lower critical load values compared to the coating without additions. Despite the reduction of the critical load of the coating by the aluminium addition, the effect of aluminium was considered advantageous owing to the refinement of the structure causing the coating to become more plastic and reducing the number and sizes of micro-cracks. The addition of iridium results in an embrittlement of the coating structure and its poorer adhesion to the substrate. Comparison of the findings from the scratch test with the observations from an optical and a scanning microscopes was also made.

Peo Coatings

Adhesion strength is one of the important properties that reflects the quality of a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coating. Scratch testing can be considered as an appropriate technique to evaluate the adhesion strength of PEO coatings on magnesium, titanium, and aluminum substrates. The scratch test is usually performed either under a constant or a progressively increasing normal load, where the critical load is used as a measure of adhesion strength of the coatings. In this review paper, the effect of different factors such as duration of coating processing, electrolyte composition, and processing current density, as well as different additives to the electrolyte bath, was studied on the adhesion strength of PEO coatings formed on magnesium, titanium, and aluminum substrates. It is understood that an optimum increase in process time and input energy leads to a corresponding increase in thickness of the PEO dense oxide layer and, consequently, an increase in critical load and adhesion strength. Moreover, the electrolyte composition and additives were found to affect the coating microstructure and composition and, subsequently, the coating adhesion strength.

Based on the analysis of the research directions in the field of coatings and layers with special operating properties, the production technologies of composite coatings, including the gradient, multi-layer, and multi-component coatings, should be distinct. The paper presents the results of material properties tests of a multi-layer coating Ti / TiN / TiAlNgradient / (TiAlN/VN)multinano obtained on hot working steel EN X32CrMoV3.3. The preparation of the multilayer coating was specially designed to increase the durability of forging dies in the brass forging process. The authors discuss the results of the microstructure tests for the obtained coatings (STEM+FIB) and present the hardness and Young's modulus as a function of the distance from the surface (nanoHardness Tester CSM) and the results of adhesion tests carried out using a scratch-test method. The obtained multilayer coatings were also subject to a tribological test using a tribometer tester by DUCOM. The authors indicate that the coatings based on vanadium nitride have very high hardness and Young's modulus (HV = 32–35 GPa, E = 420–450 GPa), a much lower coefficient of friction in combination with brass than steel, and a lower stability of these parameters at elevated temperatures. According to the authors, the coating represents an interesting material solution to increase the durability of forging dies in the process of brass forging.

Adhesion Properties

AbstractAdhesion of oxidic and metallic films with thicknesses between 40 nm and 350 nm has been investigated by means of a scratch-test method based on a vibrating diamond micro-indenter. SiO2 and TiO2 films are precipitated on fused silica substrates by sol-gel techniques (SG), reactive evaporation (RE), reactive low-voltage ion plating (IP), and plasma impulse chemical vapour deposition (PICVD), and Cr-layers are produced by rf magnetron sputtering (SP). The influence of aging effects on film adhesion is investigated in respect of several conditions, like storage under ambient surroundings with differences in relative humidity or temperature treatment. A method is presented allowing control of the long-term stability of the scratch-test conditions. Temperature treatment up to 600 °C is found to have the most significant impact on adhesion properties. Adhesion increases for some SiO2 films, whereas for TiO2 layers an opposite behavior is observed. Here, the adhesion of the originally amorphous titania films is reduced due to the phase transition to polycrystalline anatase, which correlates with a significant increase in film stress.

ABSTRACTThe validity of Lc of film failure is studied with friction — detected scratch test . The specimens used in the experiment are ion-plated TiN and Ti films,Chemical-Plated NiPCu films on steel of various hardness,ion beam mixed plated TiN films on optical glass,The morphology of failed films was studied under optical microscope and scanning electronmicroscope,The composition of starting failure of films was analyzed with electro — probe. It is found that in the curves of scratch tests of ion-plated TiN and Ti films on high-speed steel,the load corresponding the sudden change of the horizontal force is the same as the critical load of film failure,however,the critical load obtained in the scratch test of the ion-plated TiN and Ti films on soft steel is the some deference compared with optical microscope analyzed, that is principally due to the property of films and substrates (hardness and coefficient).The morphology and mechanism of ion — plated TiN and Ti films on high —speed steel are also studied in the paper.The adhesion between film and substrate is an effective method in evaluating the films property. After apprasing the effectiveness of acoustic emission monitoring scratch test, someone think that no matter coated with hard or soft film it is effective on the brittle hard substrate. However,there exist errors to different extent on other film-substrate system,and the scratch test is inapplicable for soft film-soft substrate system[1]. P. A. Steinmann pointed out while studying the factors influnceing the critical load Lc,that friction coefficient is a key factor on Lc,it provided valuable information in measuring Lc,but it think it is imporsible to measure Lc totally dependent on sudden change friction or friction coefficient, howeveer, for a specific coating substrate system,it is acceptable to say that Lc is dependent on friction coefficient[2]. This paper study experimentally on the friction detected scratch test and found out that effectiveness of Lc varies substantially in different film-substrate system. The author studiied the regularity of various system and discuse the season. The failure morphology and principles of ion-plated TiN and Ti film on highspeed steel are also analyzed in this paper.

Abstract This paper presents the results of the optimization of electrophoretic deposition parameters for manufacturing of nc-TiO2/chitosan composite coatings on X2CrNiMo17-12-2 steel as well as characterization of their microstructure, electrochemical properties and adhesion to the substrate. The parameters of the deposition, such as composition, pH and zeta potential of suspensions as well as voltage and process time were investigated. The microstructure of the coatings was characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Obtained coatings were crack-free and uniform. The adhesion strength to the substrate was measured by scratch-test method. The deposited coatings improve corrosion resistance of steel, what was confirmed by the results of the potentiodynamic polarization test in Ringer’s solution.
