Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study on the preparation and characterization of a Cr-DND/MoN detonation chromium-nanodiamond coating deposited on cemented tungsten carbide (WC–3 wt.% Co) mill blades using Arc-PVD and electrodeposition methods. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), XRD analysis, Raman spectroscopy, micro-identification, and scratch test (evaluation of the coating adhesion). It was shown that the Cr-DND/MoN coating consists of successive layers of Cr-DND (top), Cu (middle) and MoN (bottom) with separate phases of γ-Mo2N, α-Mo, α-Cu, Cr-DND and nanodiamonds. The Cr-DND composite electrochemical coating (CEC) was deposited from the conventional chromium plating electrolyte with the addition of nanodiamonds. The copper interlayer was deposited by the Arc-PVD method on the surface of the MoN coating to improve the adhesion strength of the Cr-DND CEC. The coating showed an optimum microhardness of about 14 ± 1 GPa and good adhesion with a critical load Lc of about 93 N. In addition to the expected experimental results, the coating has high wear resistance, confirmed by scratch tests.
