Improving the Mechanical Properties of a Machine Component of a Fishing-Net Weaving Machine by Duplex Coating

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the mechanical properties of a weaving machine component made of cast stainless steel are improved by the duplex coatings of electroplated hard-chrome and sputtered metal nitride layers. The effects of the first and second coat layers of three metallic nitrides, including TiN, TiN-Ni and NiN, were comparatively studied. The structural characteristics of the coating materials were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Vicker hardness was then measured by nanoindenter. It was found that the duplex coating surfaces gives better surface quality than those of single-layer coated ones. In addition, the hardness of single-layer coating either with hard-chrome or metal nitride was only 2-3 times higher than uncoated ones whereas duplex coating with both layers synergistically increases the hardness by a factor of 7-8. Moreover, duplex coating with TiN exhibits relatively high hardness compared with other metal nitrides.
