Özet

The properties of TiBN-based coatings are significantly affected by adding alloying elements and coating parameters. Therefore, in this study, TiTaBN coatings with graded interlayer (CWGIL) were deposited on D2 steel substrates by pulsed DC biased (PDCB) and continuously DC biased (CDCB) closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering (CFUBMS). The structural, mechanical, adhesion and tribological properties of the coatings were analysed with EDS, SEM, XRD, microhardness, scratch testing and a pin-on-disc tribo-tester (under various atmospheric conditions). TiTaBN CWGIL deposited by PDCB magnetron sputtering (MS) had a very dense microstructure, high hardness and a high critical load value. TiTaBN CWGIL deposited by PDCB MS had a lower friction coefficient, the wear rate and the penetration depth in all atmospheric conditions. In conclusion, the application of a PDCB substrate instead of a CDCB one dramatically increases the performance of CFUBMS-deposited TiTaBN coatings.
