Electrochemical and Tribological Properties of CrAlN, TiAlN, and CrTiN Coatings in Water-Based Cutting Fluid
Source abstract
Abstract
CrAlN, TiAlN, CrTiN coatings were prepared using magnetron sputtering system. The mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated. TiAlN coating showed the highest nanohardness of 16.1 GPa, followed by CrTiN and CrAlN. The friction behavior of coatings was examined using a ball-on-disk tribo-meter. The friction coefficient in cutting fluid was obviously reduced as compared with that in air. In particular, the TiAlN coating presented the better wear resistance in spite of its highest friction coefficient in cutting fluid. The corrosion behavior of the coatings in cutting fluid was analyzed via open-circuit potential, electrochemical impendence spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The easy occurrence of hydration reaction for CrN and AlN phase would lower the coatings’ compactness, subsequently deteriorated the corrosion resistance of coating. As a result, TiAlN coating exhibited a good anti-corrosion behavior with the highest charge transfers resistance (Rct = 3.84 × 107 Ω cm2), and polarization resistance (Rp = 3.55 × 105 kΩ cm2) due to its great compactness.
