BP-32 First-principles study of the local environment effects on surface<br />
diffusion in multicomponent nitrides, C. Tholander (chtho@ifm.liu.se),<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 />
