Effect of Current Density on the Composition and Mechanical Properties of Cr1-xAlxN Coating by Ion Arc Plating
Abstract:
The Cr1-xAlxN coatings were deposited onto M2 tool steel using ion arc plating technique. The effect of current density on the surface morphology and mechanical properties of TiN/CrAlN coating was made. It was found that adjusting the pure metal target currents is not only to change the metal atomic ratio, but also to influence the surface morphology, their hardness and adhesion. The micro hardness Hv increases almost linearly with Al content of the coating in this study, and the Cr0.41Al0.59N coating reaches Hv 2950. The adhesion force between the coating and the substrate reaches maximum value 55N, when the [Al]/[Al+Cr] ratio is 0.44.
