Effect of Surface Pre-Treatment on Adhesive Strength of Multi-Component Vacuum-Arc Coatings
Abstract
The results of investigations of multi-component nanostructured coatings of (TiAlSiY)N/CrN type are presented. The influence of different variants of substrate surface pretreatment on adhesive strength and hardness of coatings was studied. Pre-treatment of samples was carried out in plasma of two-stage gas discharge according to various technological schemes. Except for ion-plasma purification, some samples were pretreated with a sublayer of chromium within 5 minutes. The coatings were formed by a vacuum-arc deposition method at simultaneous spraying of two cathode targets. The first cathode is made of chromium, and the second cathode is made of multicomponent Ti - Al - Si - Y alloy obtained by vacuum-arc remelting of powder mixture of the mentioned elements. The coatings were deposited on polished stainless-steel substrates at negative 280 V bias potential. The geometry of the unit and its elements, as well as technological characteristics of the processes of evaporation-condensation were selected so that at a speed of rotation of samples 8 revolutions per minute the formation of the coating with a total thickness of about 9.0 microns occurred in approximately 60 minutes. The analysis of the composition of the coatings shows that the content of elements in the coating differs greatly from the content of elements in the sprayed cathodes. The X-ray diffractometry has shown that all deposition modes are characterized by the formation of phases with cubic (fcc) crystal lattice in both phase layers of multilayer coatings. In the layers formed at spraying of TiAlSiY alloy, a multi-element disordered solid solution (TiAlSiY)N with a crystal lattice of NaCl type and a lattice parameter of 0.4241 nm, as well as chromium mononitride CrN with a lattice parameter of 0.4161 nm, is determined. It has been established that preliminary formation of a chromium sublayer on the substrate leads to significant changes in adhesive strength of multi-component coatings compared to coatings without a sublayer.
