Effect of plasma nitriding ion current density on tribological properties of composite CrAlN coatings
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract CrAlN coatings were synthesized on pre-plasma nitrided M2 high speed steels using different ion current densities. The effect of plasma nitriding pretreatment on the microstructures and tribological properties of composite CrAlN coatings had been studied. The results showed that the nitriding efficiency could be significantly enhanced by higher ion current density. The thickness of nitrided layer increased from 43 μm to 63 μm with the increase of ion current density. The nitrided layers without either compound layer or grain boundary precipitation were produced with all experimental ion current densities. Radial cracks also appeared at the Rockwell-C indentation edge of the composite CrAlN coating due to the conformal effect. Moreover, radial cracks of the composite coatings originated from the hard and brittle nitrided layer. The highest interfacial adhesion of the composite CrAlN coating reached 105 N. Furthermore, the wear resistance of CrAlN coating was improved by combining nitriding pretreatment with coating deposition, and the composite coating (PN4/CrAlN) possessed the superior wear resistant.
