Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc

Abstract：(Ti, Al)N films were deposited on high-speed steel (HSS) by filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) technique under a nitrogen atmosphere. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the structure of the films .The micro-hardness was tested. The result shows that the crystal structure and mechanical properties of (Ti,Al)N films are strongly dependent on the nitrogen partial pressure. The structure of (Ti,Al)N films is composed of Ti2N phase, TiN phase and TixAly phase. The hardness increases to a maximum at the nitrogen partial pressure of 8•0×10-2Pa, then decreases with increasing nitrogen partial pressure.

Abstract Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technique that can be used to make the near-net-shape metal parts. M2 is a high-speed steel widely used in cutting tools, which is due to its high hardness of this steel. Conventionally, the hardening heat treatment process, including quenching and tempering, is conducted to achieve the high hardness for M2 wrought parts. It was debated if the hardening is needed for additively manufactured M2 parts. In the present work, the M2 steel part is fabricated by SLM. It is found that the hardness of as-fabricated M2 SLM parts is much lower than the hardened M2 wrought parts. The characterization was conducted including X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to investigate the microstructure evolution of as-fabricated, quenched, and tempered M2 SLM part. The M2 wrought part was heat-treated simultaneously with the SLM part for comparison. It was found the hardness of M2 SLM part after heat treatment is increased and comparable to the wrought part. Both quenched and tempered M2 SLM and wrought parts have the same microstructure, while the size of the carbides in the wrought part is larger than that in the SLM part.

TiZrN thin films have been prepared on high speed steel by using magnetron sputtering. Doping amounts of Zr were adjusted by changing the sputtering time of the Zr target. X-ray diffraction analyses show that TiZrN coatings consist of mixed crystals of TiN, TiZrN phases. The film microhardness first increases and then decreases with the increasing of Zr doping amount. With the same Zr doping amount, the microhardness of the samples will improve with the increasing of doping times.

Ti and TiNx (x < 1) thin films have been deposited on high speed steel (HSS) substrates by reactive sputtering and then N+ implanted. The increase of the N/Ti ratio of the films during deposition is related to a decrease in their roughness, and N+ implantation produces another additional slight decrease of the roughness. The hardness of samples increases with the nitrogen content in the as-deposited samples; nevertheless, N+-implanted Ti coatings show lower values of hardness than reactive sputtered TiNx films. α–Ti, ε–Ti2N, and δ–TiN phases were identified by grazing x-ray diffraction.

Tin Coatings

TiN coating is often coated on fine blanking tools made of with the powder metallurgy high speed steel S790 by Multi-arc ion plating. The phase variation, residual stress and microhardness of TiN coatings were respectively analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) and Vickers hardness tester in this research. The result shows that: there is obvious preferred orientation in the crystal surface (1 1 1) and (2 2 2) of TiN coating, the residual stress of TiN coating ranges from -2 347 MPa to -1 920 MPa, and that of the substrate from -154.9 MPa to -69.21 MPa, both of which decrease with the increasing of coating thickness. The TiN coating on the S790 substrate was annealed at temperature 500°C for one hour. It was revealed that the stress state of TiN coating was better and thus the properties of the TiN coating were improved.

The aim of the work was to prepare an overview about the microstructures present in high-speed steel, focused on the crystallography of the carbides. High-speed steels are currently obtained by casting, powder metallurgy and more recently spray forming. High-speed steels have a high hardness resulting from a microstructure, which consists of a steel matrix (martensite and ferrite), in which embedded carbides of different crystal structure, chemical composition, morphology and size, exist. These carbides are commonly named MxC, where M represents one or more metallic atoms. These carbides can be identified by X-ray diffraction considering M as a unique metallic atom. In this work, it is discussed, in basis of the first principles of physics crystallography, the validation of this identification when it is considered that other atoms in the structure are substitutional. Further, it is discussed some requirements for data acquisition that allows the Rietveld refinement to be applied on carbide crystallography and phase amount determination.

Crn Coatings

CrN coatings were deposited on cemented carbide substrates by filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique (FCVA). The effect of different deposition parameters: nitrogen partial pressure, substrate-bias voltage and preheating of the substrate, on the structural and mechanical properties of the coating was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis was used to determine the structure and composition of the coatings. The tribological behaviour and wear properties of the coatings against Si3N4 ball at different normal loads were studied under reciprocating sliding condition. The results showed that a smooth and dense CrN coating with good properties can be obtained provided a pure Cr interlayer was pre-deposited. The optimal deposition parameters were the nitrogen partial pressure of 0.1 Pa, substrate-bias voltage of -100 V. Preheating of the substrate was no good for improving the properties of the coating. The FCVA CrN coating showed high hardness and good wear resistance, which was probably attributed to its smooth surface and dense microstructure. The wear mechanism of the CrN coating was a combination of abrasion and oxidation. However, the coating flaked off at high normal load due to the deficient adhesion strength of the coating to the substrate.
