Title Investigation of corrosion and tribological characteristics of annealed CrN/ CrAlN coatings deposited by CAE-PVD
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Post-deposition annealing CrN/CrAlN Wettability Wear Corrosion behavior PVD
Abstract In this work, the variation of tribological and corrosion performances of as-deposited and annealed CrN/CrAlN multilayer coatings on 304 stainless steel substrates deposited by the cathodic arc evaporation process was investigated. It was found that annealing resulted in the decomposition of CrN to Cr2N. Also, the surface roughness increased as the annealing temperature increased due to the coalescence of macroparticles. Thus, the wettability of annealed samples decreased as the annealing temperature increased.
