The influence of TiAlN and enamel coatings on the corrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy in the presence of solid NaCl deposit and water vapor at 450 °C

The corrosion behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy with solid NaCl deposit and water vapor at 450 °C has been investigated. Serious corrosion occurred. In order to improve the corrosion resistance, TiAlN and enamel coatings were prepared, and their effectiveness and corrosion resistance were evaluated. The results indicated that both coatings were effective in protecting the alloy against corrosion induced by NaCl deposit and water vapor at 450 °C. The protection mechanisms of these two coatings were also studied.     

Microstructural and tribological behavior of TiAlN/MoS2-Ti coatings

1. Introduction The search for a better wear resistant coating has resulted in the development of a class of hard, solid-lubricated coatings. The driving force behind the coating industry was the need to develop a proc-ess that will extend the life of steel machine parts, cutting tools, molding dies, and sliding parts. For example, in the stamping industry, severe abrasive wear and galling (cold metal welding) are expected. There is the need for an efficient application of lu-bricants both for…     

Investigating the correlation between nano-impact fracture resistance and hardness/modulus ratio from nanoindentation at 25-500 °C and the fracture resistance and lifetime of cutting tools with Ti1−xAlxN (x = 0.5 and 0.67) PVD coatings in milling operations

A novel laboratory technique, nano-impact testing, has been used to test Ti_1−xAl_xN (x = 0.5 and 0.67) PVD coated WC-Co inserts at 25-500 °C. Cutting tool life was studied under conditions of face milling of the structural AISI 1040 steel; the end milling of hardened 4340 steel (HRC 40) and TiAl6V4 alloy. A correlation was found between the results of the rapid nano-impact test and milling tests. When x = 0.67 improved resistance to fracture was found during milling operations and also in the nano-impact test of this coating compared to when x = 0.50. The coating protects the cutting tool surface against the chipping that is typical for cutting operations with intensive adhesive interaction with workpiece materials such as machining of Ti-based alloys. The results give encouragement that the elevated temperature nano-impact test can be used to predict the wear and fracture resistance of hard coatings during milling operations. At 500 °C nanoindentation shows there is a lower H/E_r ratio for the PVD coatings compared to room temperature, consistent with reduced fracture observed at this temperature in the nano-impact test.     

脉冲N离子束轰击对TiAlN膜层显微硬度影响的研究

采用俄罗斯UVN 0.5D2I脉冲离子束辅助电弧离子镀沉积设备,在高速钢W18Cr4V基材上沉积TiAlN膜层。研究了膜层沉积之前N离子束轰击基材以及膜层沉积过程中N离子束辅助轰击对TiAlN膜层显微硬度的影响。结果表明:膜层沉积之前,N离子轰击得到高度洁净的表面,使基材的显微硬度由原来的900HV0.01提高到1230HV0.01。膜层沉积过程中,脉冲N离子束轰击,消除了膜层中的硬度"软点"及阴影效应,增加(Ti,Al)N相的含量,膜层的内部产生了压应力,这些因素显著提高了膜层的硬度,膜层的最高硬度为2530HV0.01。但轰击能量不能过高,否则会降低膜层的显微硬度。
