Effect of TiN/Ti multilayer on fretting fatigue resistance of Ti-811 alloy at elevated temperature

The TiN/Ti multilayer was deposited on Ti-811 alloy surface by magnetron sputtering(MS) technique for improving fretting fatigue(FF) resistance of the titanium alloy at elevated temperature. The element distribution, bonding strength, micro-hardness and ductility of the TiN/Ti multilayer were measured. The effects of the TiN/Ti multilayer on the tribological property and fretting fatigue resistance of the titanium alloy substrate at elevated temperature were compared. The results indicate that by MS technique a TiN/Ti multilayer with high hardness, good ductility and high bearing load capability can be prepared. The MS TiN/Ti multilayer, for its good toughness and tribological behavior, can significantly improve the wear resistance and FF resistance of the Ti-811 alloy at 350 ℃.

钛合金表面离子束增强沉积MoS2基膜层及其性能

将离子束增强沉积（IBED）技术与离子束溅射的沉积技术相结合,在钛合金表面制备了MoS2,MoS2-Ti复合膜。研究了膜层的形态、结构、膜基结合强度、硬度、摩擦学性能及抗微动（fretting）损伤性能。结果表明;所获膜层较纯溅射膜结合强度高、致密性好,复合膜中允许的金属元素含量大。通过恰当地控制复合膜中Ti的含量,可获得以（002）基面择优取向的MoS2-Ti复合膜,该膜层有较好的减摩和抗磨综合性能,能够显著地改善钛合金的常规磨损、微动摩员（FW)和微动疲劳（FF）性能,特别是在磨损严重的大位移整体滑条件下,MoS2-Ti复合膜对钛合金FF抗力的提高作用可大于喷丸形变强化处理。     

Influence of surface coating on Ti811 alloy resistance to fretting fatigue at elevated temperature

An extensive study of the composition distribution, bonding strength, hardness, and wear resistance of a 0Cr18Ni9 film deposited on a Ti811 titanium alloy surface by ion beam enhanced deposition (IBED) is presented. Shot peening was introduced to post-treat the modified surface to synergistically improve the fretting fatigue resistance of the Ti811 alloy at 350～C. The results indicate that the 0Cr18Ni9 film with high density, small grain size, low void radio, and high bonding strength can be prepared using IBED. As a result, the hardness, wear resistance, and fretting fatigue resistance of the Ti811 alloy are increased to a remarkable extent. Compared with shot peening treatment or IBED 0Cr18Ni9 film alone, the Ti811 titanium alloy with an IBED 0Cr18Ni9 film combined with shot peening shows a higher fretting fatigue resistance at 350℃. This is due to the synergistic effect of the high wear resistance of the film surface and the residual compressive stress induced by shot peening.

目的提高TiN硬质涂层的厚度及各项力学性能。方法采用等离子增强PVD技术在钛合金(TC4)基体表面制备多层复合Ti/TiN涂层,对涂层进行扫描电镜(SEM)分析,采用划痕法表征涂层的结合强度,用维氏显微硬度计测试涂层的显微硬度,利用销盘式摩擦磨损试验仪评价涂层的摩擦磨损性能。结果制备的多层复合Ti/TiN涂层厚度最高可达100μm,且未发生剥落等失效,结合强度相对于单层TiN提高了近3倍。由于Ti、TiN的多层复合调制作用,制备的Ti/TiN显微硬度测试表明复合涂层的显微硬度高达2700 HV0.025,同时,涂层在原有耐磨性能优良的基础上具备自润滑减摩作用,经过近20 000 m的磨损测试,复合涂层的摩擦系数低至0.25左右,且未完全失效。结论多层复合结构能够有效提高TiN硬质涂层的厚度,制备的Ti/TiN多层复合涂层的各项力学性能显著提高。     

真空退火对TC4钛合金表面Ti/TiN多层复合涂层性能的影响

金属基体材料表面硬质膜层在服役过程中,残余应力在膜基界面以及膜层内部界面之间的积聚会导致膜层发生界面剥落失效。以TC4钛合金基体表面Ti/TiN多层复合膜层为研究对象,探讨真空退火对复合膜层结构及性能的影响,并表征退火前后复合膜层的界面划痕失效以及抗粒子冲蚀性能。结果表明,真空退火促进了膜层内部以及膜基界面两侧原子的热扩散,使得界面结构特征明显弱化。界面状态的改变使得复合膜层的表面显微硬度降低以及膜基结合强度提高。在划痕载荷作用下,复合膜层抵抗裂纹沿界面扩展的能力得到增强。真空退火有助于提高膜层的强韧性匹配,可有效抵抗小角度冲蚀粒子的犁削以及大角度粒子冲蚀下的疲劳,因此Ti/TiN多层复合膜层表现出较好的抗冲蚀性能。     

Surface characterization and mechanical property of TiN/Ti-coated NiTi alloy by PIIID

A hard and adherent TiN/Ti thin film of approximately 3 μm in thickness was deposited on the surface of Ti-50.6 at.% Ni alloy by the PIIID technique. The surface composition and chemical state of the coated samples were evaluated by XPS. The XPS results indicate that titanium oxide and titanium oxynitride were present on the TiN surface. The spectra of Ti 2p, N 1s, O 1s and C 1s electrons before and after the film being sputter etched were also discussed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) analyses demonstrate that an interfacial layer, containing Ti, N and Ni, was formed at the interface between the TiN and Ti coatings. Sliding wear tests show that the TiN coating significantly reduces the friction coefficient and improves wear resistance of the NiTi alloy.

Surface modification is an attractive method to enhance the surface hardness and wear resistance of titanium. In this paper, a continuous wave 2 kW Nd:YAG laser was used to synthesize Ti/TiN metal matrix composite coating on the surface of commercial pure titanium. The microstructure and the wear resistance of the synthesized metal matrix composite coating were investigated.

Good metallurgical bonding between the reinforcing phase of the metal matrix composite and the titanium matrix was observed. The hardness and wear resistance under block-on-ring dry sliding wear testing conditions of the synthesized Ti/TiN metal matrix composite coating were markedly enhanced.

The microhardness of coatings was tested and its wear-resistance property was tested by the self-made abrasion machine and compared with Wi8Cr4V rapid steel treated by quenching. The results show that an excellent bonding between the coating and substrate is ensured by the strong metallurgical interface. The coatings are mainly composed of Ti and synthesized TiN. The highest microhardness of coating reaches to 1 388 HV0. 1, which is six times higher than that of the substrates. Wear resistance of the coatings is excellent.

钛表面微弧氧化+碳膜的制备与表征

为提升钛金属与碳膜的界面结合,增强涂层的防护作用,利用微弧氧化(MAO)技术在钛表面快速简易制备出与基体为冶金结合的多孔层结构,并以此为基采用离子束复合磁控溅射技术制备碳膜。采用SEM+EDS、AFM分析所制备膜层的微观结构,借助划痕仪、磨损试验机和电化学工作站表征膜层的结合力和性能。结果表明：表层碳膜并不能完全覆盖微弧氧化层的微孔,同时Ti基体表面微弧氧化层可有效增加表层碳膜与Ti基体的结合力;Ti基体/MAO层/碳膜的膜基体系在摩擦磨损过程中,摩擦系数小且波动很小,磨痕宽度最小,表现出最为优异的摩擦学性能;而新设计复合膜层的耐蚀性较传统的Ti基体/Ti打底层/碳膜的膜基体系要差,这与表层碳膜较薄,复合膜层仍呈现出微弧氧化层多孔特征有关,其导致腐蚀介质易于通过微孔而降低耐蚀性。     

梯度过渡层对硬质合金沉积类金刚石膜的耐磨性影响

目的分析不同类型的梯度过渡层对硬质合金沉积类金刚石涂层耐磨性能的影响,制备出能有效改善硬质合金减摩抗磨性能的类金刚石涂层。方法采用真空阴极电弧离子镀和等离子体增强化学沉积技术,在硬质合金基底上制备了Ti/TiC/DLC、Ti/TiN/DLC、Ti/TiN/TiNC/DLC和Ti/TiN/TiNC/TiC/DLC四种类型的Ti多元梯度过渡类金刚石涂层。通过GNEHM-150型洛氏硬度计和电子显微镜、MFT-4000多功能材料表面性能试验仪、纳米硬度测试仪,分别评价不同类型多元梯度过渡层对硬质合金类金刚石涂层的膜基结合强度、摩擦磨损性能及纳米硬度。结果 Ti/TiC/DLC、Ti/TiN/DLC、Ti/TiN/TiNC/DLC和Ti/TiN/TiNC/TiC/DLC四种类型涂层的膜基结合强度等级分别为HF3-HF4、HF5-HF6、HF1-HF2、HF1,对两种膜基结合强度较好的涂层(Ti/TiN/TiNC/DLC、Ti/TiN/TiNC/TiC/DLC)进行摩擦磨损检测,其摩擦系数分别为0.2、0.1,且经过60 min对摩,Ti/TiN/TiNC/TiC/DLC涂层仍未出现明显剥落。结论梯度过渡层的类型对薄膜的膜基结合强度、摩擦性能有较明显的影响,Ti/TiN/TiNC/TiC/DLC结构的涂层膜基结合强度最好,具有最低的摩擦系数,表现出了优异的减摩抗磨性能,可有效改善硬质合金表面的耐磨性能。     

Sol–gel derived hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium substrates

The oscillatory micromovements at the interface between the implant and the bone induce fretting wear and sometimes, fatigue cracks, causing early failure of the joint prosthesis. Hydroxyapatite films were formed using a sol–gel method from an organic precursor solution. The average film thickness was found to be 1.0 μm. Composite coatings containing HA doped with ZrO₂ were also formed. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and composite films of HA and ZrO₂ formed on commercial titanium substrates using an organic precursor solution by sol–gel route, were tested for fretting wear using a ball-on-flat fretting apparatus. The moderately lower values of the coefficient of friction (0.4–0.5) and morphology of the wear pits for considerably long cycles of fretting indicate strong bonding of the HA coating to the titanium surface. The interface shear strength of a thin hydroxyapatite film on commercial purity titanium has been evaluated using a substrate straining method. The maximum interfacial strength was about 570 and 678 MPa, for the pure HA and composite films, respectively, on the highly polished surface. However, the maximum interfacial strength was found to be about 263 MPa on the oxidized surface.     

Oxidation,Mechanical and Tribological Behaviors of the Ni/cBN Abrasive Coating-Coated Titanium Alloys

In order to improve the oxidation and wear resistance of blades tip of titanium alloys as well as the sealing performance of the gas turbine engine,a Ni/cBN abrasive coating was prepared on titanium alloys through composite electroplating.Oxidation,mechanical and tribological properties of the abrasive coating were investigated.Furthermore,the effect of the oxidation on the mechanical and tribological properties was also evaluated.Oxidation results revealed that the abrasive coating underwent slight oxidation within 700 ℃.Meanwhile,some intermetallic compounds,Ni_3Ti,NiTi and NiTi_2,were formed at the coating/substrate interface during oxidation.Due to the pinning effect of cBN particles and the different thermal expansion coefficients of the coating and substrate,the coating/substrate interface was cracked after oxidation at 700℃.Tensile results showed that the presence of coating reduced the strength of the alloy significantly at room temperature,while only marginal variations of the strength of the coated and uncoated specimens at elevated temperatures.Besides,the wear tests indicated that the coating had the excellent cutting ability and wear resistance,which can effectively protect the blades tip of titanium alloys.As the temperature increased,the wear resistance decreased due to the decrease in the mechanical properties of the Ni/cBN coating.

Improvement of the tribological behaviour of PVD nanostratified TiN/CrN coatings — An explanation

A hard TiN/CrN multilayered coating, consisting of alternating nanometer scale TiN and CrN layers (bilayer period of 40 nm), was deposited by arc evaporation process on M2 tool steel. Monolayered TiN and CrN are also deposited in the same conditions, and used as references. In order to get a better understanding of the tribological behaviour of coated parts, two types of experiments were performed. The dry-sliding wear resistance was evaluated with a ball-on-disk tribometer, while surface fatigue resistance was determined by a cyclic multi-impact test. The architecture of layers is measured by XRD and observed by TEM. The residual stress field was characterised using XRD and the sin²ψ method at a synchrotron radiation facility.All coatings present a columnar microstructure. TiN demonstrated better wear resistance than CrN and this characteristic is still increased two times by using the nanostratified coating. In the same way, the results of surface oligo-cyclic fatigue test confirm the high performance of the nanostructured coating with respect to the monolayered ones. The differences in mechanical properties of coatings evaluated through nanoindentation measurements do not lead to a direct correlation with the tribological results, and therefore cannot explain such differences. Moreover, a microscopic analysis of the samples after both tribological tests reveals two opposite cracking mechanisms. Monolayered TiN and CrN are subjected to a transversal crack propagation until the peeling of the coating, whereas the multilayered coating only undergoes cohesive cracks deviated in the TiN/CrN interface zones. Both opposite behaviours are the consequence of the distribution of stresses along the thickness of the film.
