Wear behaviours of filtered cathodic arc deposited TiN, TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN coatings on AISI 316 stainless steel fishing net-weaving machine components under dry soft-sliding against nylon fibres

Resistance of PVD Coatings to Erosive and Wear Processes: A Review

“…Addition of Ag and Cu to TiAlN coating decreased hardness, elastic modulus, and compressive residual stresses, and also decreased CoF and wear rate, hence improved wear resistance. These results of an effect of coating hardness on wear rate were in opposition to those obtained for 3 μm-thick TiN coating with hardness of 26.4 GPa, 3 μm-thick TiAlSiN coating with hardness of 30.4 GPa and 3 μmthick TiCrAlSiN coating with hardness of 31.6 GPa deposited on 316 stainless steel by a filtered cathodic arc process [136]. The TiN, TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN coatings were tested under dry softsliding against a nylon fibre with 0.12 mm in diameter, a tension force of 2 N and a rotation speed of 150 rpm (the average sliding velocity was 225 m/min).…”

“…Thus, it should be emphasized that an improperly selected coating, e.g., due to an inadequate literature review or the lack of own research, may shorten the incubation period and/or increase the erosion/wear rate. [136] Coatings 2020, 10,921 Since the deformation capacity of the material depends on the hardness and modulus of elasticity, it has been proposed to use the ratio of hardness and modulus of elasticity, which has been called resistance to plastic deformation. By determining the correlation of the resistance to plastic deformation (H/E or H 3 /E 2 ratios) with the erosion rate, it can be seen that there is an optimum value of the ratio at which the PVD coating obtains the best resistance to cavitation erosion or solid particle erosion.…”

Experimental Analysis and Comparative Performance of Ti-Based Coatings on Hard-Chrome Plated Stainless Steel

“…The results clearly indicated that the average weight loss values of HC were higher than those of TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN when carrying out wear tests at different applied loads and workpiece surface roughness values. Moreover, the variations of weight loss values of HC were larger than those of TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN because the surface after HC plating allowed Cr atoms to be consistently filled in the surface cavities causing substantially different weight loss values [23]. On the other hand, the averages and variations of weight loss values for TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN were not significantly different.…”

“…TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN were coated on the SS by the FCA system (Nanoshield Co., Ltd). The detailed descriptions of TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN coatings by the FCA method were stated in the previous work [23].…”

“…TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN coatings are developed on the basis of magnetron sputtering [12][13][14], FCA [15][16][17][18], hybrid of sputtering and FCA techniques [19]. In the past decade, wear behaviours of TiAlSiN and TiCrAlSiN deposited on various materials have been studied such as stainless steel (SS) [23], Ni-Cr based alloys [17], tool steel [18] and Ni-based high-temperature alloys [19]. Wear behaviours of the coatings were examined including microstructure, hardness, friction coefficient and wear characteristics by the standard testing apparatuses such as pin-on-flat, pin-on-drum, pin-on-disc and reciprocating ball-on-flat depending on a variety of industrial applications [20].…”
