Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, CrN/Cr₂O₃ double-layered coatings with various thickness ratios of CrN vs Cr₂O₃ layer were prepared by arc ion plating technology. The influences of the thickness ratio of CrN vs Cr₂O₃ layer on the microstructural characteristics as well as the mechanical and tribological properties of the CrN/Cr₂O₃ double-layered coatings were investigated. The corresponding mechanisms were also discussed. The results indicated that the insertion of CrN layer between the Cr₂O₃ layer and substrate can effectively decrease the internal stress level of the coating. With increasing the thickness ratio of CrN vs Cr₂O₃ layer, the surface roughness of double-layered coatings decreased gradually, which had a certain influence on the friction coefficient. In addition, the microhardness also declined gradually, the adhesive strength almost increased linearly, whereas the wear rate declined firstly and then increased slightly. As the thickness ratio was 2:1, the double-layered coating exhibited the best wear resistance.
