Humidity Environment

Humid air is a very important service environment, in which metal friction parts should be enhanced to offer excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The B4C coating is an excellent candidate material to enhance the corrosion resistance and tribological behaviors. The purpose is to investigate the effect of negative bias voltages on the tribological properties of B4C coatings under a high relative humidity environment. Amorphous B4C coatings were successfully prepared by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering technology and its microstructure, hardness, elastic modulus, adhesive force and tribological properties were systematically studied. Results demonstrate that the B4C coatings deposited at each negative bias voltage have a columnar structure and the surface roughness remained unchanged (about 1.0 nm), while the thickness, hardness, elastic modulus and adhesion force increase first and then decrease with the negative bias voltage increasing. Among them, the B4C (−50 V) coating showed the best mechanical properties. It should be noted that the B4C (−50 V) coating with an excellent corrosion resistance also exhibits the lowest friction coefficient (~0.15) and wear resistance (7.2 × 10−7 mm3·N−1·m−1) under humid air (85% RH). This is mainly due to the tribochemical reaction of B4C during a sliding process to produce boric acid at the sliding interface. B4C coatings can provide an excellent corrosion resistance and high wear resistance due to their high chemical stability and high hardness.

Titanium alloy has an attractive strength-to-weight ratio and good fatigue properties. However, the titanium alloy has very poor wear resistance, therefore, surface treatments must be considered in order to make the contact parts. Hard thin film deposited by PVD technique is well-known to improve the wear resistance. In this study, chromium nitride ( CrN ) film was applied to titanium alloy and its effect on the fatigue behavior was investigated. Ti -6 Al -4 V alloy was used as a substrate material. The CrN film was deposited by arc ion plating (AIP) method at two different negative bias voltages because the film hardness, crystal orientation and surface morphology were strongly depended on the bias voltage during the deposition. Tension-tension fatigue test and tensile test were carried out to investigate the fatigue properties. As the result, the fatigue strength was influenced by the deposition of the CrN film, especially, the fatigue strength was remarkable decreased by the deposition of the CrN film at high negative bias voltage compared to the uncoated specimen and the deposition of the CrN at low negative bias voltage. The difference of the fatigue strength was also investigated on the basis of crack initiating behavior during fatigue test and tensile test.

In this study, TiN coatings were deposited on 201 stainless steel by multi-arc ion plating (MAIP). The effect of negative bias voltage on the surface microstructure, hardness, phase structure and the corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by SEM, hardness instrument, XRD and electrochemical measurement. The number and size of droplets decreased when the negative bias voltage increased from -100 V to -300 V. But when the substrate bias increased to a certain value, there were some pits appeared. The hardness increased at first and decreased later with the increasing of the negative bias voltage. When the negative bias voltage was -200 V, the hardness was the highest. The intrinsic hardness of TiN film was 2195HV. In 3.5% NaCl solution, the corrosion resistance of TiN coatings samples were improved slightly compared with 201 stainless steel. In l mol/L H2SO4 solution, the corrosion resistance of -100V sample was the best, the corrosion resistance of -100V coating sample was increased 486 times compared with untreated 201 stainless steel.

By using the multi-ion plating,the CrAlTiN composite films were made on the suface of piston rings to improve its tribological properties and increase service life. The effects of negative bias voltage on morphology, hardness, adhesion strength, microstructure and tribological properties were studied. The results show that the morphology, phases, hardness, adhesion and wearability of the films were varied with negative bias voltage. When the negative bias voltage was at -200V, the hardness, adhesion strength of CrTiAlN coatings reaches maximum and the surface roughness, weightlessness for CrTiAlN composite coatings reaches minimum. And the conclusion can be obtained that the key factor which influences the wearability of the films are the function of the crystal size and adhesion strength together.

The niobium film is prepared by magnetron sputtering on the surface of the AZ91D magnesium alloy. The morphology, phase structure, roughness, nanohardness and elastic modulus of the niobium films were studied by filed emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscope and nanoindentation respectively. The influences of film deposition parameters, such as substrate temperature, negative bias and power on the properties of films were investigated.

AbstractThin films of zirconia have been deposited by an Inductively Coupled Plasma Assisted CVD (ICP-PACVD) reactor from tetra (tert-butoxy)-zircon precursor diluted in Ar and O2 gas mixture. An independent RF generator is used to control carefully the substrate negative bias voltage during the deposition. Zirconia thin films, with thickness up to 10 microns were deposited on Si (100) polished wafers under different plasma conditions. Correlation between deposition parameters, and microstructure has been established showing that the ion bombardment has a large influence on the coating characteristics. In particular, the possibility of tailoring mechanical properties of the films by controlling the applied DC bias voltage is discussed.
