STUDY ON VANADIUM CARBIDE COATING FORMATION ON AISI L2 STEEL BY THERMO-REACTIVE DEPOSITION TECHNIQUE

Kinetic Study of Niobium Carbide Coating Formation on AISI L2 Steel using Thermo-Reactive Deposition Technique

In the present study, Thermo-Reactive Deposition method (TRD) in a molten bath was used to form niobium carbide coating on AISI L2 steel. The coating was formed in five different composition of borax (Na2B4O7), boric acid (B2O3), and ferro-niobium. For all of the five compositions of molten bath, niobium carbide coating treatment was carried out at 1173 K, 1273 K, and 1373 K for 2, 4 and 8 hour...

STUDY ON NIOBIUM CARBIDE COATING FORMATION ON AISI L2 STEEL USING THERMO-REACTIVE DEPOSITION METHOD

In the present research, to form niobium carbide coating on the surface of AISI L2 steel Thermo-Reactive Deposition method (TRD) in a molten bath was used. Niobium carbide coating treatment was carried out at 1173 K, 1273 K, and 1373 K for 2, 4, and 8 hours. The molten bath contained 20wt.% borax (Na2B4O7), 5 wt.% boric acid (B2O3), and 75 wt.% ferro-niobium. The presence and properties of...

INVESTIGATION OF CHROMIUM AND VANADIUM CARBIDE COATING FORMATION ON SKD11 AND T10 BY THERMO-REACTIVE DIFFUSION (TRD) METHOD

Carbide coatings, due to their excellent anti-wear properties, are used to extend the life of molds exposed to abrasion forces. Various processes have been applied to produce carbide coatings. Thermo-reaction diffusion (TRD) using a molten salt bath could be considered as an economical method compared to other coating processes. In this study carbide-composite coatings using molten salt baths c...

Monitoring the thin film formation during sputter deposition of vanadium carbide

The thin film formation of magnetron sputtered polycrystalline coatings was monitored by in situ X-ray reflectivity measurements. The measured intensity was analyzed using the Parratt algorithm for time-dependent thin film systems. Guidelines for the on-line interpretation of the data were developed. For thick coatings, the experimental resolution needs to be included in the data evaluation in ...
