TiN and TiAlN films have been coated on the surface of tool materials by various methods for the life-time extension of tool. In this work, for the improvement of hardness and adhesion of coating to SKD61 substrate, radical nitriding (RN) of substrate was carried out at 450°C for 5 hours in ammonia gas pressure of 2.7×103 Pa. The results showed that TiN and TiAlN coatings were distributed uniformly on the SKD 61 substrate. And the film thickness was up to 4 μm, which showed so high deposition efficiency (~ 66.7 nm/min) of arc ion plating at this typical process condition. For both coatings, the TiN phases could be detected and the (111) was dominant crystallite grown orientation. The AlN crystallite structure could be detected as expected in TiAlN film. The critical load of TiN film (22.36 N) was slightly smaller than that of TiAlN film (23.88 N). With increasing the load during scratch test, the friction coefficient of TiN film rose quickly, but friction coefficient of TiAlN had a little change, even decreased slightly.

Ternary Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings were deposited on stainless steel substrates by arc ion plating (AIP) technique using Ti target at the temperature of 300 with a negative substrate bias voltage of -25 V. The carbon content in Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings linearly increased with increasing CH4/(CH4+N2) gas flow ratio at a constant arc current of 60 A. The microstructure and mechanical properties such as micro-hardness and average friction coefficient of Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings were investigated as a function of carbon content. As the carbon content in Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings increased, the microhardness values of Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings increased from 20 GPa for TiN coatings and reached the maximum value of approximately 32 GPa at x=0.52 in Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings. The variation of microhardness of Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings had a relationship with the change of residual stress. The average friction coefficient of Ti-Cx-N1-x coatings largely decreased with increasing carbon content.

TiN coating with thickness of 2.5μm was deposited on high-speed steel (HSS) substrate by pulsed bias cathodic arc ion plating. The surface and cross-section morphologies, composition depth profile and phase structure were characterized by FESEM, GDOES and XRD, respectively. Scratch test for adhesion evaluation, microhardness test for hardness measurement, and potentiodynamic polarization for corrosion resistance test were used. The results show that the TiN coating exhibits smooth surface, dense columnar grain structure and an obviously preferred orientation of TiN(111). The adhesion of the coating to substrate is exceeded more than 100N. The hardness of the coating is about 26 GPa. The low corrosion current density (Icorr) and rather high corrosion potential (Ecorr) value imply that the TiN coating displays a good corrosion resistance in 0.5mol/l NaCl solution. However, pitting is still existed due to the defects in the coating.

To develop the hard and self-lubricating coatings applied for the industrial dry-cutting and die-casting machining tool fields, a series of MoTiAlN/MoN/Mo multilayered coatings were deposited on Si substrates under low substrate rotation by cathodic multi-arc ion plating. XRD, SEM, TEM, RBS, nanoindentation, and tribology tester were used to monitor the phase structure, morphology, component, nanohardness, and friction coefficient of the coatings. It was found that the coatings deposited at various substrate rotations comprised paramount cubic B1 structure TiAlN and Mo2N phases. The micrographs confirmed that the mean modulation period and total physical thickness of multilayered TiAlN/Mo2N coatings with a sharp interface fabricated at 2 revolutions per minute (rpm) were 26 nm and 1.15 μm. The mean nanohardness and friction coefficient were ca. 30 GPa and 0.4, respectively. RBS results along with the SIMNRA code allowed to estimate the total atomic concentrations and the physical thickness of individual sublayer as well as the modulation period of multilayered coatings, which demonstrated an efficiency of this approach for characterization of nano-multilayered structures.

Dry sliding wear and friction tests of CrN coating on two types of aluminum alloy substrates, 6061 Al and 7075 Al, deposited by arc ion plating were performed with a ball-on-disk tribometer. The effects of normal load and the mechanical properties of the substrate on the friction coefficient and wear resistance of CrN coating were investigated. The worn surfaces were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that surface microhardness of CrN-coated 7075 Al is higher than that of CrN-coated 6061 Al. With an increase in normal load, wear volume increases, while the friction coefficient decreases. The friction coefficient of CrN-coated 6061 Al is higher than that of CrN-coated 7075 Al, while the wear resistance of CrN-coated 6061 Al is lower than that of the CrN-coated 7075 Al. This indicates that the substrate mechanical properties have strong influence on the friction coefficient and wear of CrN coating. The main wear mechanism was fragments of CrN coating, caused by apparent plastic deformation of substrate during wear tests.

Ring is one of the major textile spinning machine consumable part, it has an important influence on yarn quality and cost. Ring of domestic cotton spinning enterprises generally has poor hardness, bad accuracy, not durable and difficult to guarantee the quality of the yarn, foreign ring has excellent performance, but it is too expensive, so it is difficult to widely used in China[1]. Vacuum arc ion plating technology has a wide range of applications in the aerospace, automobile, mold, tool, electronics and other fields [2-3]. TiN film which is prepared by arc ion plating technology has been widely used because of the TiN film has poor oxidation resistance and wear resistance at high temperatures, so the ternary films are developed on TiN film, such as TiAlN [4], TiCN etc. Traveller circle in the ring on the slide to produce large amounts of heat, it makes the ring surface temperature reach 400°C. When higher than 400°C, the TiCN film failure, therefore, ring should not be plated on the TiCN films. While TiAlN film oxidation temperature reaches 800°C. In HSS twist drill, depositing of TiAlN film can improve the service life more than four times [5]. Studies [6-8] have found that using pulsed laser deposition and chemical vapor deposition technique to prepare TiAlCN film, its wear resistance, high temperature stability is better. Pulsed laser deposition is mainly used in laboratory research. It is difficult to deposit a large area uniform film. Chemical vapor deposition of deposition rate is less than the arc ion plating, and produces lots of waste gas, leading to the environment is polluted. Arc ion plating technology can deposit the uniform films of large area with high deposition rate and deposition with no environmental pollution, therefore, this study, by means of vacuum arc ion plating technology to prepare high-precision, long-life and low-cost domestic cotton spinning ring. In order to obtain the best film process parameters, the performance of film is investigated at different bias and arc current.

The surface properties like roughness etc. strongly influence the fatigue strength of high-tensile steel. To investigate the effect of surface condition and TiN coating on the fatigue strength of high-strength steel, four-point bending fatigue tests were carried out for martensitic stainless steel with TiN film coated using arc ion plating (AIP) method. This study, using samples that had been polished under several size of grind particle, examines the influence of pre-coating treatment on fatigue properties. A 2-µm-thick TiN film was deposited onto the substrate under three kinds of polishing condition. The difference of the hardness originated in the residual stress or thin deformation layer where the difference of the size of grinding particle of the surface polishing. And it leads the transformation of the interface of the substrate and the TiN film and improves fatigue limit.
