Titanium possesses excellent passivation characteristics which is widely used in surface coatings for iron-based materials. The phases and microstructure of titanizing coatings are crucially important for its corrosion resistance. However currently, there are very few studies on the growth evolution of phases and morphologies, which is explored by this study using the powder pack cementation method, with a pack mixture of Ti powder, NH₄Cl, and Al₂O₃ at 1020 °C for 1–4 h. Its phase and microstructure were characterized by SEM, XRD, and EPMA to reveal the evolution mechanisms of titanizing coating. Results show that “ant-hole-like” pores and irregular net-like protrusions formed on the coating surface, which gradually grows and extends with holding time. The titanizing coating consists of Ti-poor layer, “needle-like” transition layer, Ti-rich layer, and subsurface particles. The formation of transition layer is closely associated with the coating micropores and the cyclic reactions induced by elemental diffusion, which thickness increases significantly with holding time. The main phases of coating include Ti₄Fe₂O, TiAl₃, TiN, AlN, Ti<img>Fe, and Fe<img>Al compounds, and there are point-like particles of TiN and AlN in the substrate subsurface.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22009,"journal":{"name":"Surface & Coatings Technology","volume":"516 ","pages":"Article 132720"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145222705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four types of microtextures (hexagonal, rhombic, sectorial, and annular sector) were fabricated on substrate surfaces using laser processing technology, followed by deposition of DLC coatings via filtered arc vacuum coating technology (DCVA). Tribological ball-on-disk tests under varying normal loads (1, 3, 5, 7 N) revealed that surfaces combining bio-inspired microtextures with the DLC coating significantly enhanced tribological performance compared to untextured or uncoated surfaces. Specifically, the hexagonal microtexture/DLC coating surface exhibited the lowest and most stable coefficient of friction (COF) (0.17) along with minimal wear (depth 0.95 μm at a normal load of 7 N), outperforming other combinations. Finite element analysis (FEA) confirmed that this superiority stems from the symmetrical hexagonal geometry's superior ability to disperse contact stresses and inhibit crack propagation. In contrast, the rhombic microtexture/DLC coating showed pronounced stress concentration at sharp vertices under high loads, leading to increased COF fluctuations and accelerated wear. The DLC coating enhanced surface hardness, preventing material failure and maintaining microtexture integrity during sliding, while its self-lubricating properties reduced COF through graphitization and transfer film formation.
