Abstract
In this study, the tribological behaviour of different Diamond-like-Carbon (DLC) coatings sliding against titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) was analysed in a pin-on-disc tribometer at different applied loads to study effectiveness of tool coatings in titanium alloys machining. Three different DLC coatings were deposited on cemented carbide substrate using HiPIMS (DLC-Ar, DLC-Ne) and arc (DLC-Bn) deposition techniques. A detailed analysis of the wear track and titanium countersurfaces were performed following the tribotest to develop understanding about the wear mechanism and associated variation in the friction response. The results indicated that DLC-Ar presents low friction and reduced wear of coating and respective titanium countersurface at lowest load, seemingly due to its inherent tendency to spontaneously form graphitic transfer-layer at the interface. With an increase in the applied load, the tendency to retain tribofilm decreases as shearing ensue quickly exposing the underneath substrate material. The wear performance of DLC-Ne coatings is better than DLC-Ar under highest load and friction behaviour relatively close to DLC-Ar coatings. In comparison, under increased applied loads, DLC-Bn coatings offered better wear resistance and low friction compared with DLC-Ne and DLC-Ar coatings, which would offer improved performance in machining of titanium alloys.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
