Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cr_1-xAl_xN Coating

Abstract:

A series of Cr1-xAlxN coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. The content, microstructure and the hardness of the thin films were characterized respectively with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and nanoindentor. The effect of Al content on the microstructure and hardness was studied. It was found that Cr1-xAlxN compound coating exhibits a cubic structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientations and that the lattice parameter of Cr1-xAlxN coatings decrease with the increase of Al content. The hardness of Cr1-xAlxN compound coating is higher than that of CrN and increases with the increase of Al content.
