Abstract

Preparation of duplex coating is an innovative way to improve components surface in terms of mechanical and tribological properties by the combination of high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) and physical vapor deposition (PVD) technologies. The present work focused on the construction, mechanical properties and high temperature tribological behaviors of the duplex coating consisting of a thick HVOF Cr3C2-NiCr interlayer and a thin PVD TiN top layer, as well as compared it with the Cr3C2-NiCr coating and the single TiN film. The results showed that the Cr3C2-NiCr/TiN duplex coating exhibited higher hardness, elastic modulus, H/E and H3/E2 ratios and superior load-bearing capacity than the single TiN film. The introduction of Cr3C2-NiCr intermediate layer did not affect the microstructure of TiN film but significantly improved the adhesion strength between TiN film and substrate, as well as the wear resistance sliding against WC ball at different temperatures. In addition, the friction and wear mechanism of the Cr3C2-NiCr coating, TiN film and Cr3C2-NiCr/TiN duplex coating was revealed by investigating the friction-induced morphological and structural evolutions of the sliding surface at elevated temperature.
