Abstract
Abstract The present study aims to determine the effect of target voltage of boron on elevated temperature wear behaviour of newly designed (Ti, Cr, Nb)-hBN PVD coatings. For this purpose, this layer is grown on the AISI L6 (55NiCrMoV7) at various target voltages (600 V, 700 V) using a high-power impulse magnetron sputtering setup. The coating layer has a graded design and has been coated on the substrate surface in adherence with the following order: Cr – CrN – TiCrN – TiCrNbN and finally TiCrNb-hBN (constituting the working layer). The surface properties of the layer were determined using SEM and an optical profilometer. It is seen that the coatings were deposited on the surface in a granular structure pattern away from the deposition defect (such as a droplet or hole), and the roughness values increase as the target voltage increases. Phase analysis is determined using XRD, and average grain size calculations are performed using the XRD data. The coating layer has grown on the surface at TiN (112), CrN (311), NbN (111) and h-BN (001) orientations. Then, mechanical tests including microhardness and scratch tests were conducted on the specimens. Although the layer that is produced with both different parameters improves the hardness of the substrate (4.7 GPa), the hardness of the coating layer at the voltage of 700 V (24.67 GPa) is higher than that of others. Based on scratch tests, scratch crack propagation resistance (CPR) values were determined as 40 N2 and 1,650 N2 for coatings produced at 600 V and 700 V, respectively. The wear behaviours of specimens are specified using a ball-on-disc type tribometer at 450°C. It is seen that the coating with high hardness and scratch resistance offers unique contributions to the wear performance of the substrate. The optimum value of the target voltage to be used in the production of this innovative coating has been introduced into the literature.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
