ETCHC.MoM.-OR.4 TRIBO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CrAlN COATINGS<br />

DOPED WITH YTTRIUM AND ZIRCONIUM. M. Brizuela, D. González, A. García-Luis, P.<br />

The aim of this work is to study the influence of doping with Y and Zr on the mechanical and tribological<br />

behaviour of CrAlN coatings.<br />

CrAlN coatings doped with Y and Zr were prepared on high-speed steel (AISI M2) and Si (100) substrates<br />

by d.c. magnetron sputtering using a commercial equipment (CemeCon® CC800/8) provided<br />

of four targets, two of chromium, one of aluminium, and one of the doping material (yttrium or zirconium)<br />

in a mixture of argon and nitrogen. The influence of different deposition parameters (e.g.:<br />

Ar/N 2 ratio, temperature, doping target power,) on the chemical, mechanical and tribological properties<br />

was analysed.<br />

The mechanical properties of the films was evaluated with a Fischerscope H100 dynamic microprobe<br />

apparatus using a conventional Vickers indenter at loads up to a maximum of 10 mN, to minimise<br />

the influence of the underlying base material. Adhesion testing was carried out with a conventional<br />

VTT scratch test on films deposited on polished M2 steel samples. Critical loads for adhesion were<br />

calculated by optical observation at the first cohesive or adhesive failure of the coating. The friction<br />

and wear tests have been performed in a pin-on-disk apparatus against different counterpart materials<br />

(AISI 52100 steel and Ti6Al4V alloy). Friction coefficients were continuously recorded during the<br />

tests. Wear volume and surface morphology were evaluated on worn areas of coated discs and balls<br />

after testing by means of non-contact laser surface profilometry, scanning electron microscopy<br />

(SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Chemical and microstructural properties have<br />

been also investigated by EDS and SEM.<br />

The results show great differences when using different doping elements and deposition conditions.<br />

The role of the amount and type of doping element has been investigated. Hardness values up to 40<br />

GPa have been found in the case of CrAlN coatings doped with yttrium under certain deposition<br />

conditions. The tribological behaviour has also been studied and correlated with the chemical composition<br />

and mechanical properties.<br />
