Microstructure and mechanical properties of chromium oxide coatings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chromium oxide coatings were deposited on low-carbon steel by radiofrequency reactive magnetron sputtering at different oxygen flux values. X-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the microstructure of chromium oxide coatings. Varying oxygen flux changed the coating microstructure; as with increasing oxygen flux the chromium oxide coating undergoes amorphous-to-crystalline transformation. The coating developed strong (300) texture at higher oxygen flux. Hardness, elastic modulus, wear resistance, and adhesion were investigated by nanoindentation and pin-on-disk tests. With changes in the coating microstructure as a function of increased oxygen flux, hardness, elastic modulus, and wear resistance were improved, but its adhesion was weakened.
