柔性硬质纳米复合涂层

研究了利用磁控溅射方法制备的柔性硬质纳米复合涂层。结果表明柔性硬质纳米复合涂层具有以下优异性能:是一类具有高硬度、高韧性以及抗裂纹性能的新型涂层;具有较高的硬度模量比(H/E*≥0.1,E*=E/(1-ν~2))、弹性恢复系数(We≥60%)、压应力(σ0)L,且少缺陷的微观结构;生长处于Thornton结构区域相图的T区。磁控溅射非常适合制备纳米复合涂层,文中将对其制备柔性纳米复合薄膜的机理做深入阐述。涂层生长主要受以下3个参数影响:涂层生长过程中吸收的能量Ep,其包含沉积原子携带的能量E_(ca)和轰击离子携带等能量E_(bi)(E_p=E_(ca)+E_(bi)),基体温度Ts和涂层材料的熔点T_m。柔性硬质涂层具有广泛的应用前景,如柔性保护涂层、柔性功能涂层、防脆性涂层开裂的柔性保护涂层以及柔性多层涂层。文中还将详细阐述低温磁控溅射制备柔性纳米复合涂层的原理,并阐述纳米复合涂层及其性能的发展趋势。     

Electrodeposition of Ni-Co/Al2O3 composite coating by pulse reverse method under ultrasonic condition

Ni-Co/Al₂O₃ composite coating was deposited by pulse reverse current (PRC) method under ultrasonic condition. The influence of ultrasonic power on morphology, microstructure, composition, micro-hardness and residual macrostress of composite coating was investigated by means of SEM, TEM, XRF and XRD. The results indicate the composite coating deposited under ultrasonic power becomes uniform, compact and the grains become fine; the composite content of Al₂O₃ is decreased; the micro-hardness of composite coating is improved firstly, then decreased; while the residual macrostress is increased.
