Effect of Cu Content on the Tribological Performance of Cr-N Coatings at High Temperatures (840°C)
Cr-N and Cu-Cr-N coatings with Cu content between 3-65 at.%, Cu/Cr ratios in the 0.04-4.5 range and 21-27 at.% N, synthesized by twin e-beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EBPVD) at 450oC, were investigated. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in combination with nanoindentation mechanical
property measurements and laboratory controlled ball-on-disc sliding experiments, it is shown that Cu-Cr-N coatings with low
Cu content (3 at.%) possess sufficient wear resistance for high temperature demanding tribological applications.
