Abstract
Alloying is commonly recognized as an efficient method to enhance the high-temperature properties of TiAlN coatings. In this study, a series of Ti1−x−y−zAlxTayYzN (0.01 ≤ y ≤ 0.06, 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.06) coatings with similar Al content was investigated, concerning phase structure, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance. The presence of an excessive Y-content in Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.01Y0.06N and Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.02Y0.05N coatings causes a mixed cubic and wurtzite structure, leading to reduced hardness. A single-phase cubic structure was obtained by low Y-containing Ti1−x−y−zAlxTayYzN coatings with z ≤ 0.03. Among them, the Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.05Y0.02N coating obtains the highest hardness value of 34.3 ± 0.9 GPa in the as-deposited state. Moreover, the thermal stability and oxidation resistance of the Ti0.46Al0.54N coating were significantly improved by co-alloying with Ta and Y. Upon annealing at 900 °C, the Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.05Y0.02N coating shows a peak hardness of 35.8 ± 1.4 GPa. Increasing Ta-content and decreasing Y-content give rise to a decline in oxide scale thickness when exposed to air at 900 °C for 10 h. However, the Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.05Y0.02N coatings exhibit the best oxidation resistance after oxidation at 1000 °C for 15 h with an oxide scale of ~3.24 μm. In general, the Ti0.41Al0.52Ta0.05Y0.02N coatings showed the best comprehensive performance in this work.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
