Abstract
CoCrNiTi medium-entropy alloy films (MEAFs) were deposited by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering under different bias voltages (0 V ~ −150 V). The effects of bias voltages on the microstructure, surface morphology, mechanical properties, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the film were studied. The results indicate that the CoCrNiTi MEAFs consist of both FCC and amorphous structures. The crystallinity of the film is positively correlated with the bias voltage, while the roughness is negatively correlated. This can be attributed to the bias voltage enhancing both the bombardment and diffusion capabilities of the particles. Due to the grain boundary strengthening caused by the increase of crystallinity, the film exhibits high hardness (11.30 GPa) and toughness at the bias voltage of −150 V. The combination of the highest hardness, toughness, and wear resistance ensures that the film achieves optimal wear resistance with the lowest wear rate (2.55 × 10−4 mm3N−1 m−1) at a bias voltage of −150 V. As the bias voltage increases from 0 V to −150 V, the corrosion potential rises from −0.905 V to −0.542 V, and the corrosion current density decreases from 3.8 × 10−5 A/cm2 to 0.6 × 10−6 A/cm2.
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.
