Adhesion Determination of Thin Wear Resistant Coatings

Abstract:

Four hard thin coatings (TiSiN, TiN-CrN multi, AlTiN a WC) were deposited on the WC+Co substrate by cathodic arc deposition. Adhesion test of PVD coatings was evaluated by comparison failure of coating surfaces. The surface features after the Rockwell indentation test were examined by light microscopy. The results showed that the AlTiN and WC coatings exhibited acceptable failure and are appropriate for usage in practice. Unlike them, had TiSiN and TiN-CrN coatings poor adhesion, which resulted in unacceptable failure after Rockwell C test.
