Effects of Bias Voltage on Properties of (Ti, Al)N Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

PVD method is used to deposit (Ti,Al)N coatings on the surface of W6Mo5Cr4V2 steels. The value of bias voltage changes from -100V to -400V. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope(SEM) and UNMT-1 were employed to analysis the microstructure and mechanical properties of (Ti,Al)N coatings. The research results showed that the microstructure and mechanical properties of coatings became better when the value of bias voltage was -400V. The size and quantity of particles on coatings both decreased obviously. The adhesion between coatings and substrates increase to 54.6N. The hardness of (Ti,Al)N coatings rise to 39.7N.
