等离子物理气相沉积高熵合金涂层及组织性能

采用等离子物理气相沉积的方法在316L不锈钢表面制备了AlCoCrFeNi高熵合金涂层,研究了喷涂距离和电流对高熵合金涂层物相组成、表面形貌、截面形貌、硬度、结合强度和耐磨性的影响。结果表明,不同喷涂距离和电流下,高熵合金涂层都主要由BCC、B2和FCC相组成;随着电流或者喷涂距离增加,涂层中BCC平均晶粒尺寸先增后减。当喷涂距离为460 mm时,随着电流从1600 A增加至2000 A,涂层平均摩擦系数逐渐增大,表面和截面硬度先减后增,涂层结合力和结合强度先增大后减小,涂层的磨损率先增加后减小;当电流为1800 A时,随着喷涂距离从420 mm增加至500 mm,涂层平均摩擦系数逐渐减小,表面硬度先减后增,截面硬度先增后减,涂层结合力和结合强度逐渐增大,涂层的磨损率逐渐减小。高熵合金涂层的磨损率与涂层表面硬度和内聚强度都有一定相关性。     

Wear-Resistant Titanium Carbonitride Coatings onto WC–Co Cutting Tools by Pulsed High-Energy Density Plasma

Nanometer grain superhard ternary Ti(C,N) coatings with Vicker's nanohardness more than 50 GPa were deposited onto WC–Co cutting tools at ambient temperature using pulsed high-energy density plasma coaxial gun. Young's modulus of the coated tools was about 550 GPa. Because of the continuously graded interfaces between the coatings and substrates, the coatings are well adherent to the tool substrates with very high critical load up to more than 100 mN measured by nanoscratch tester. The coefficients of friction were lower than 0.1. In contrast with the uncoated tools, the coated tools could be applied in turning hardened CrWMn steel at high speed under industrial conditions without lubricants, and the cutting performances were greatly improved with rather low flank wear and long tool life.
