BP-32 First-principles study of the local environment effects on surface<br />

diffusion in multicomponent nitrides, C. Tholander (chtho@ifm.liu.se),<br />

F. Tasnádi, B. Alling, L. Hultman, Linköping University, Sweden<br />

Growth of multicomponent nitride thin films is typically performed under<br />

kinetically limited conditions. Thus, the study of surface diffusion is one<br />

key to understanding behavior such as texture development and clustering<br />

during crystal growth. An earlier study of diffusion on TiN(001) and (111)<br />

surfaces [1] has shown that there is a large difference in diffusivity of<br />

adatoms on different surface directions, which greatly influences the<br />

preferred growth direction. We present results from first-principle studies<br />

using the nudged elastic band technique to calculate the energy barriers on<br />

low index crystal surfaces. By introducing different metal atoms and<br />

clusters in the surface of TiN and calculating the changes in the surface<br />

energy barriers, we show the effects on surface diffusion due to the change<br />

in the local environment. For example we show that the introduction of<br />

configurational disorder in Ti0.5Al0.5N(001) slow down the Ti adatom<br />

diffusion as compared to the pure TiN(001) case.<br />

BP-33 Effects of electroless Ni and PVD-TiAlZrN duplex coatings on<br />

corrosion and erosion behavior of ductile iron, C.H. Hsu<br />

This study utilized electroless nickel (EN) plating and cathodic arc<br />

evaporation (CAE) technologies to deposit the protective coatings onto<br />

ductile iron substrates. Polarization corrosion tests were performed in 3.5%<br />

sodium chloride. The erosion tests were also carried out using Al2O3<br />

particles (~177 mm in size and Mohr 7 scale) of about 5 g, and then surface<br />

morphologies of the eroded specimens were observed. To further<br />

understand the coating effects on both the corrosive and erosive behaviors<br />

of ductile iron, coating structure, morphology, and adhesion were analyzed<br />

using XRD, SEM, and Rockwell C indentation, respectively. The results<br />

showed that EN coating exhibited an amorphous structure, while TiAlZrN<br />

had a multilayered type. With regard to both the corrosion resistance and<br />

erosion resistance, the TiAlZrN/EN duplex coated specimens performed<br />

better than did the uncoated and monolithic EN or TiAlZrN ones.<br />

Chromium nitride film, the representative hard coating together with<br />

titanium nitrides, have been developed as protective film of forming tools,<br />

anti-corrosive and tribological applications of precision components in<br />

various industries. Currently such chromium nitrides film were developed<br />

as a form of nanocomposite films which have multi-functions to extend its<br />

application fields such as exhaust manifold required high temperature wear<br />

resistance and anti-corrosive property.<br />

Mo added chromium nitrides composite films were fabricated by hybrid<br />

PVD method with different interlayer in this work. Typical columnar<br />

structures were changed to repetitive short pitches and tens of nanometer<br />

scale of multi layer was formed inside the matrix of composite film. And<br />

the preferred orientation of growth structure was varied according to the<br />

different interlayer and bias condition. Microhardness was almost 30GPa<br />

for Mo added composite film including metal Mo interlayer from<br />

nanoindentation test. Details of microstructures were analyzed by FESEM<br />

and STEM.<br />

The development of multifunctional coatings based on nanocomposite and<br />

multilayers was design to meet various severe corrosion, oxidation, and<br />

wear environmental conditions. Nanocomposite coatings are usually formed<br />

from ternary or higher order systems which are supersaturated or metastable<br />

solid solutions or comprise at least two immiscible phases. TiBCN coating<br />

system was one of the promising nanocomposite coating systems exhibiting<br />

super hardness, good tribological properties, and high oxidation and<br />

corrosion resistance. TiBCN coating have been successfully synthesized by<br />

chemical vapor deposition (CVD), electron beam physical vapor deposition<br />

Thursday Afternoon Poster Sessions 102<br />

(EBPVD), and more commonly by dc magnetron sputtering. In the present<br />

study, TiBCN nanocomposite coatings were deposited from TiB2 and Ti<br />

dual targets using a unbalanced magnetron sputter system operated with<br />

fixed nitrogen flow and different C2H2 flows. The effects of the carbon<br />

content on the phases, microstructure, mechanical and tribological<br />

properties of TiBCN coatings were investigated. It is shown that with the<br />

different carbon content in the coatings the microstructures of TiBCN can<br />

be tailored to TiBN, TiBCN and TiBCN/Carbon duplex layers. The coated<br />

samples were characterised with the following techniques: nano-indentation<br />

(hardness), ball-on-disc (wear and friction), scratch test (adhesion),<br />

scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy (microstructure)<br />

tests.<br />

BP-36 Low Temperature Plasma Nitriding of F51 Duplex Stainless<br />

Steel, A. Tschiptschin (antschip@usp.br), L.B. Varela, University of São<br />

Paulo, Brazil, C. Pinedo, Heat Tech Technology for Heat Treatment and<br />

Surface Engineering Ltd, Brazil<br />

In this work an AISI F51 duplex stainless steel was DC-Plasma nitrided<br />

(PN) at 400 o C, during 20 hours in a 75% N2 + 25% H2 atmosphere. A<br />

modulated plasma nitrided layer formed on the specimen´s surface: the<br />

nitrided layer observed on the ferritic regions was 3 µm thick, while the<br />

nitrided layer formed on the austenitic regions of the microstructure was ~2<br />

µm thick. Very fine martensite needles were observed on the ferritic<br />

regions, while expanded austenite layer (ΥN) formed on the austenitic<br />

regions. The nitrogen content of the nitrided layer was estimated from Xray<br />

diffraction measurements and WDX as being ~3.4 to 4.4 wt % N,<br />

leading to colossal supersaturation and strong hardening of the surface, up<br />

to 1350 HV. The 400 ºC plasma nitrided layer did not impair the corrosion<br />

resistance of the duplex stainless steel. These results are discussed based on<br />

the hypothesis that, during nitriding, ferrite transforms at first to austenite<br />

and then to expanded austenite, due to nitrogen pickup. The expanded<br />

austenite formed on ferrite regions transforms to martensite, under stresses<br />

developed during the formation of expanded austenite in the neighboring<br />

austenite grains.<br />

BP-37 Residual stress on nanocomposite thin films using sin 2 Ψ method,<br />

Residual stress on thin films can be significantly high, sometimes as large<br />

as several gigapascals and they can be either compressive or tensile. For the<br />

super-hard coatings, such as metal nitrides or carbides, the hardness and the<br />

compressive stress are strongly correlated; in such a way that the high<br />

hardness values are usually obtained for highly strained films. This<br />

correlation imposes some limitations in both the thickness of the films and<br />

their use for high temperature applications. In this work, we have produced<br />

nanocomposite thin films of tantalum nitride (TaN) and niobium nitride<br />

(NbN) nanocrystals embedded in amorphous silicon nitride (SiNx) phase.<br />

The films were deposited using two magnetrons (pure metal and silicon)<br />

and the silicon content on the films was varied by increasing the radio<br />

frequency power applied to the Si-target, while the other deposition<br />

conditions remained fixed. In both cases, the results showed that the<br />

hardness increased as the Si content increased from 0 to 5-6 at%, but further<br />

Si incorporation resulted in a decrease in the hardness.<br />

The aim of the present work was to study the possible correlations between<br />

the residual stress, the silicon content and the hardness of the films. The<br />

residual stress was determined the lattice strain method using X-ray<br />

diffraction. The sin^2(psi) method was used to determine the stress tensor.<br />

The results showed that the films present a triaxial stress state with<br />

compressive components in the plane normal to the growth direction and<br />

shear components. From this analysis it was demonstrated that even for the<br />

nanocomposite films, the maximum hardness films also showed the highest<br />

stresses. Stress in the direction x and y are compressive and equivalent in<br />

magnitude so that is not a change or stress gradient in the direction<br />

perpendicular plane to the film growth. On the other hand, the stress in the z<br />

direction (perpendicular to the growth of the film) was tensile.<br />

We concluded that the described method commonly used to study bulk<br />

materials can be used to calculate the stress tensor in hard nanocomposite<br />

coatings. The results obtained indicated that the hardness was directly<br />

related to the stress; larger hardness values were obtained for the samples<br />

with the higher stress.<br />
