9:40am E2-3-6 Heat treating effects on the microstructure and<br />

mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-B-N thin films, L.W. Ho, J.W. Lee<br />

The Ti-Cr-B-N thin films with various boron contents were deposited by<br />

pulsed DC magnetron sputtering on silicon substrates and SUS420 stainless<br />

steel discs. Heat treatments were carried out in a vacuum furnace at 600,<br />

800 and 1000°C for 1 hour, respectively. The crystalline structures and BN<br />

bonding nature of thin films before and after heat treating were<br />

characterized by grazing angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier<br />

transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The surface and cross<br />

sectional morphologies of heat treated thin films were examined by<br />

scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy<br />

(TEM). A nanoindenter and nanoscratch tester were adopted to evaluate the<br />

mechanical properties of coatings before and after heat treating. It was<br />

found that a hardening effect occurred after heat treating. Evolution of<br />

microstructures and mechanical properties after heat treatment at different<br />

temperature was investigated. The possible hardening mechanism of Ti-Cr-<br />

B-N coatings was also proposed.<br />

optimisation in severe applications - experiments and modelling, B.<br />

Optimising coating performance for applications such as (1) ultra-high<br />

speed machining of hard-to-cut materials (2) the severe conditions that<br />

occur in automotive engines, artificial joints or helicopter gears when solidsolid<br />

contact occurs requires the combination of advanced new<br />

experimental nanomechanical test techniques with improved analytical<br />

methods for interpreting the data produced.<br />

This presentation will include three case studies:-<br />

1) Improvements to the Oliver and Pharr approach to take account of time<br />

dependency in nanoindentation, as applied to nanoindentation at 750C<br />

2) The importance of high temperature nanoindentation of DLC in accurate<br />

modelling of sliding contact<br />

3) High-speed reciprocating nano-wear of DLC and metallic samples<br />

In addition it will be demonstrated how the such extracted generic material<br />

parameters can be used for computer aided optimizing of coating systems.<br />
