Abstract
A series of Cr1-xAlxN coatings with varying aluminum concentrations (x = 0, 0.34, 0.53, 0.75) were coated on titanium-zirconium-molybdenum (TZM) alloy substrates via multi-arc ion plating. The high-temperature steam oxidation performance and microstructural evolution of these coatings at 1200 °C were systematically investigated. Results demonstrate that Cr1-xAlxN coatings significantly enhance the oxidation resistance of TZM alloys. Notably, the Cr47Al53N coating provided optimal protection through the formation of a dense Cr2O3-rich outer oxide layer and an Al-enriched Al2O3 sublayer. Furthermore, nitrogen diffusion behavior in Cr1-xAlxN coatings during oxidation was investigated, revealing the critical role of Al content in determining oxidation resistance through detailed analysis.
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.
