Influence of CrCN Coatings Steel Ball Deposited by Closed Field Unbalanced Magnetron Sputtering on the Performance of Bearing

Abstract:

The CrCN coatings was deposited on the substrate of GCr15 steel ball by closed field unbalanced magnetron sputter ion plating. The performances of vibration, temperature rise, rotational speed, load carrying ability and wear resistance of CrCN coatings steel ball bearing and uncoated steel ball bearing were tested by a bearing tester, and also comparatively analyzed. Results show that, compared to the uncoated bearing, the CrCN coatings steel ball bearing, in the case of rotational speeds higher than 5 000 rpm, have lower vibration values, especially above 6 000 rpm, the vibration values were significantly reduced, and the coated bearing has vibration stability performance. And the coated bearing has also slower temperature rise performance, excellent high-speed performance, good load carrying capacity characteristics and wear resistance performance etc.
