Abstract
The influence of Al/Ti and Al/Cr ratios on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of AlTiSiN and AlCrSiN coatings, deposited by the cathodic arc evaporation PVD method at a temperature of 400°C, was investigated. The remains of the original AlSiN hexagonal phase were observed in the obtained coatings as well as the crystallites of cubic TiN and CrN, respectively. XPS analysis assumes the presence of a substoichiometric SiN. The addition of 11 at.% Ti or 13 at.% Cr in AlSiN led to an increase in both the coating’s resistance to plastic deformation and the plasticity index. The addition of 13 at.% and 24 at.% Cr to the AlSiN coating structure resulted in a decrease in the average coefficient of friction with 18% and 36% against a counterpart of Al2O3, respectively, and with 36% for both concentration against steel ball counterpart. The addition of Ti have no influence on the values of the coefficient of friction at using ceramic counterpart, while at steel counterpart decreased it up to 30%. Both element change the abrasion effect of the coating.Keywords:AlCrSiN; AlTiSiN;Cathodic Arc Deposition; Tribological Behaviour; Abrasion Resistance; Nanoindentation
