Influence of MoN Sputtering Coating on Wear Resistance of a Fishing Net-Weaving Machine Component

Abstract:

Wear resistance of an upper hook, an important fishing net-weaving machine component manufactured from stainless steel, was improved by systematically investigating the influence of molybdenum nitride (MoN) sputtering coating using experimental design. Three factors of MoN coating on upper hooks including DC current, operating pressure, and Ar/N₂ ratio were studied and optimized for minimum wear of the machine component. After conducting wear testing on the fishing net-weaving machine in a participating company, it was found that the three coating factors influenced the wear of the machine component. In addition, the optimal operating condition for MoN sputtering coating that produced the minimum wear was obtained at DC current of 0.45 A, operating pressure of 0.01 mbar, and Ar/N₂ ratio of 0.5.
