EFFECT OF Cu CONTENT ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF Cr-N COATINGS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES (840 degrees C) Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Cr-N and Cu-Cr-N coatings with Cu content between 365 at.%, Cu/Cr ratios in the 0.044.5 range and 2127 at.% N, synthesized by twin e-beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) at 450C, were investigated. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in combination with nanoindentation mechanical property measurements and laboratory controlled ball-on-disc sliding experiments, it is shown that Cu-Cr-N coatings with low Cu content (3 at.%) possess sufficient wear resistance for high temperature demanding tribological applications.
