Thermal stability behaviors of Cr(N,O)/CrN double-layered coatings by TGA/DTA analysis

In this study, Cr(N,O)/CrN double-layered coatings were synthesized using the cathodic arc deposition (CAD) process. CrN film was first deposited onto a substrate as an interlayer to ensure better adhesion, and Cr(N,O) film was subsequently deposited on top of the CrN layer as the surface layer. Variation in the Cr(N,O) coating composition was achieved through changing the O₂/N₂ flow ratio during the last stage of processing. Phase structure, chemical composition, and morphology of the resulting coatings were analyzed and observed using the X-ray diffractometer, Auger electron spectrometer and SEM. In addition, oxidation behavior of the coatings was investigated using TGA/DTA methods. The tests were carried out by increasing temperature up to 1000 °C in ambient air. With the introduction of oxygen gas during the CAD process, a superficial layer was produced in the Cr(N,O) constituent containing CrN and Cr₂O₃ phases. The formation of the oxide phase attributed to the reaction of chromium and oxygen was more favorable than that of chromium and nitrogen. The results also showed that Cr(N,O)/CrN double-layered coatings exhibited superior oxidation resistance at elevated temperature than that of CrN single-layer coated specimen (870 °C vs. 750 °C).     

Effect of laser fluences on the structure of carbon nitride films deposited by direct current plasma assisted pulsed laser ablation

Carbon nitride films were deposited by direct current plasma assisted pulsed laser ablation of a graphite target under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The surface morphology, composition and bonding structure of the deposited films were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The effect of laser fluences in the range 0.5–3 J/cm² on the surface morphology, composition and bonding structure of the carbon nitride films were systematically studied. As laser fluence is increased, AFM results show a great decrease in the surface roughness of carbon nitride films. FTIR and XPS results indicate an increase in the N/C ratio and the content of N atoms bonded to sp³ C, as well as a decrease in the content of H atoms and the content of N atoms boned to sp² C in the deposited films, and Raman spectra indicate an increase in the content of disordered sp² C atoms and the sp² cluster size. The increase in the film density and the decrease in the particle fraction contribute to the decrease of surface roughness with increasing laser fluence.

Magnetic and mechanical properties of FeSi alloys with high Si content

The chemical vapor（CVD） deposition-diffusion method was applied to prepare FeSi alloys with high silicon content up to 6.5%. In spite of various deposition and post-annealing, the sample remains α-Fe bcc structure. The cross section of the composition was analyzed to evaluate the Si content and distribution before and after annealing. The results show that the soft magnetic properties are improved by increasing the silicon content. For the samples containing about 6.5% Si, the coercivity decreases to 60 from 237.3 A/m of the original. It is also obtained that, in addition to the Si content, Si distribution has a large influence on the core loss due to the effect of resistivity. The micro-hardnesses were also evaluated along the cross-section after various annealings.

Nanostructured component fabrication by electron beam-physical vapor deposition

Fabrication of cost-effective, nano-grained net-shaped components has brought considerable interest to Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Department of Energy. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the versatility of electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) technology in engineering new nanostructured materials with controlled microstructure and microchemistry in the form of coatings and net-shaped components for many applications including the space, turbine, optical, biomedical, and auto industries. Coatings are often applied on components to extent their performance and life under severe environmental conditions including thermal, corrosion, wear, and oxidation. Performance and properties of the coatings depend upon their composition, microstructure, and deposition condition. Simultaneous co-evaporation of multiple ingots of different compositions in the high energy EB-PVD chamber has brought considerable interest in the architecture of functional graded coatings, nano-laminated coatings, and design of new structural materials that could not be produced economically by conventional methods. In addition, high evaporation and condensate rates allowed fabricating precision net-shaped components with nanograined microstructure for various applications. Using EB-PVD, nano-grained rhenium (Re) coatings and net-shaped components with tailored microstructure and properties were fabricated in the form of tubes, plates, and Re-coated spherical graphite cores. This paper will also present the results of various metallic and ceramic coatings including chromium, titanium carbide (TiC), titanium diboride (TiB₂), hafnium nitride (HfN), titanium-boron-carbonitride (TiBCN), and partially yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) TBC coatings deposited by EB-PVD for various applications. This paper was presented at the International Symposium on Manufacturing, Properties, and Applications of Nanocrystalline Materials sponsored by the ASM International Nanotechnology Task Force and TMS Powder Materials Committee, October 18–20, 2004, Columbus, OH.

TiN/SiNx submicronic multilayer coatings obtained by chemical vapor deposition in a fluidized bed reactor at atmospheric pressure (AP/FBR-CVD)

TiN/SiN_x multilayer coatings were deposited on stainless steel by Chemical Vapor Deposition in a Fluidized Bed Reactor at Atmospheric Pressure (AP/FBR-CVD) by reaction of TiCl₄ and SiCl₄ with NH₃ at 850 °C. Due to the immiscibility of crystalline TiN and amorphous SiN_x, interdiffusion between layers is avoided even at the high working temperature. The thickness of the individual layer was in the nanometer range. Coatings were characterized by means of SEM, TEM, GD-OES, SIMS, XRD and nanoindentation. A mechanism for the growth rate and diffusion of Ti and Si into the steel is discussed.
