Abstract

The impact wear resistance of the hard coating is very important in the high-temperature environment of the nuclear power plant. CrN and CrAlN coatings were prepared using multi-arc ion plating. The impact abrasive wear resistance of the coatings was investigated at varied temperatures through a controlled kinetic energy impact wear rig, and their impact mechanism was elucidated. No extensive spalling was found on the surface of the CrN and CrAlN coatings after 104 impacts under the no-sand condition. The excellent antioxidant properties of the CrN and CrAlN coatings can protect the substrate from oxidation under the no-sand condition at 500 °C. The impact mechanism of the two coatings was plastic deformation under the no-sand condition, and it was mainly material removal under the sand condition. The depth and width of wear scar were larger under the sand condition than under the no-sand condition. The impact wear region was divided into a mixed impact zone and a sand impact zone. Compared with the CrN coating, the CrAlN coating had lower impact force and shallower impact wear scar, proving that it has better anti-impact wear properties.
