Abstract

The mechanical property of TiAlN coatings of large thickness deposited on stainless steel substrate by arc ion plating (AIP) was systematically investigated. The results indicated that the thickness of the coatings deposited by AIP with the increasing flow of N₂ by way of cycle or stepwise could reach 68.79 μm and 64.48 μm respectively, and those coatings show fairly well mechanical performance. The depth profile of residual stress of the coatings presented a general trend that the stress increased gradually from the coating/substrate interface to the top surface. The average compressive stress of the coatings is lower than 1 GPa, and its surface hardness almost reaches 2000 HV. The former coating has lower friction coefficient and wear rate, whereas the later one shows better coating/substrate adhesion.

Key words: surface and interface in the materials TiAlN arc ion plating nitrogen flow large thickness mechanical properties
