Friction and Wear Properties of WC/C Nano-Scale Multilayer Coatings on Technical Surfaces

Abstract: This article reports on the tribological performance of a WC/C multilayer coating with a periodicity WC/C = 15/5 nm deposited on bearing steel substrates. These substrates were initially polished to achieve different RMS roughness values ranging from 15 to 900 nm. Tribological tests were performed using a precision reciprocating microtribometer under ambient conditions with a steel ball as a counter-sample. The worn sample surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray… Show more

“…The original values of COFs have increased from 0.1 -0.25 to 0.3 -0.7 at a distance of 10 m (Figure 2). In the case of sample 2, with mean value of hardness HIT ≈ 22 GPa, the lowest COF = 0.3 was achieved along a track over 30 m and, this is in good correspondence with previous investigations [3,10,12,31].…”

“…Tungsten carbide (WC) is a very attractive refractory material for industrial applications of thin hard layers to steel [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and Al alloys. WC has an excellent combination of properties, such as high hardness, a high Young's modulus, and a low COF.…”

Out of all PVD methods, the most used methods are direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] and radiofrequency magnetron sputtering (RFMS) [ 9 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ] with Ar. Reactive sputtering of W, C, or WC from a target, in the presence of hydrocarbon [ 2 ] or other added gases [ 3 , 4 , 14 ], is used, too.…”
