The TiN films were deposited on 316 L stainless steel substrates at low temperature by arc ion plating. The influences of substrate bias voltage and temperature on microstructure, residual stress and mechanical properties of the films were investigated by EDS, SEM, XRD and nanoindenter tester, respectively. The results showed that the TiN films were highly oriented in（111） orientation with a face-centered cubic structure. With the increase of substrate bias voltage and temperature, the diffraction peak intensity increased sharply with simultaneous peak narrowing, and the small grain sizes increased from 6.2 to 13.8 nm. As the substrate temperature increased from 10 to 300℃, the residual compressive stress decreased sharply from 10.2 to 7.7 GPa, which caused the hardness to decrease from 33.1 to 30.6 GPa, while the adhesion strength increased sharply from 9.6 to 21 N.
AlCrTiSiN多元复合涂层能显著改善刀具的表面特性,可大幅提高刀具的切削性能,延长刀具使用寿命。在高速钢样品和铣刀表面通过多弧离子镀制备AlCrTiSiN多元复合涂层,并研究了Al/Cr原子比对AlCrTiSiN多元复合涂层微观结构及切削性能的影响。采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)、纳米压痕仪、划痕仪和球盘摩擦磨损试验对涂层的微观结构和力学性能进行研究,并通过切削试验对涂层刀具的寿命进行测试。研究结果表明:当Al/Cr比为0.4时,AlCrTiSiN涂层物相由fcc-AlCrN,fcc-Al Ti N,hcp-Al N和非晶态Si_3N_4相组成,涂层呈现(200)AlCrN择优取向;随Al/Cr比由0.4降低至0.2时,涂层物相由fcc-AlCrN,fcc-Al Ti N,hcp-Cr2N和非晶态Si_3N_4相组成,(200)AlCrN择优取向消失。随Al/Cr比由0.4降低至0.2时,AlCrTiSiN涂层硬度和结合力增加,摩擦因数和磨损率降低,与另两组相比,AlCrTiSiN-3涂层具有较好的抗摩擦磨损性能,其涂层刀具具有相对较高的切削寿命。
