The investi- gations based on tribometer tests which were carried out in different temperature conditions. The process of deposition of PVD coatings was realized by using multisource, hybrid factory- scale equipment of type URM 079. This equipment allows for deposition of coatings by the phys- ical method. The tribological tests were performed using a precision high temperature tribome- ter under ambient and high temperature conditions with a steel and corundum balls as coun- ter-samples. In this paper the results of these tribological tests are presented. It is shown that the measured friction coefficient of steel samples with PVD coatings is significantly lower than the friction coefficient of uncoated steel. It is also shown that X38CrMoV5-1 steel samples with manufactured MoS2TiW coatings are characterized by very low friction coefficient and high wear resistance.

The principal focus of this study was investigation of the effect of thermal oxidation on structure and morphology reconstruction in a-SiC:H amorphous network. The density of the films was varied over the range 1.6-2.2 g/cm2 by varying the magnetron discharge power. The local nano- and micro-scale surface morphology and chemical composition distribution were examined by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy equipped with Auger electron scanning system and optical profilometry. It was found that partial oxidation leads to local structure reconstruction accompanied by transformation of mechanical stresses from compressive to tensile. Formation of carbon-enriched nano- and micro-scale regions was observed after oxidation in low density samples. We attrribute these morphological defects to migration and precipitation of carbon species released in the process of oxidation of the SiC amorphous network. The mechanism of tensile stresses generation is also discussed.

This phenomenon is accentuated by the small tool angle of most of the wood machining tools. The aim of this present study is to look if the geometry modifications of the cutting edge permit to decrease the weakness of the tools, especially in peeling process. For this, different sand-blasted tools were tested in laboratory peeling of beech. In addition, the adhesion of CrAlN hard coating deposited on a modified cutting edge was also explored. The results obtained showed that the artificial wear by sand-blasting permits to increase the shocks resistance, coatings anchoring and changes the wear mechanism of the tools.

La mesure des forces de coupe a été faite grâce a une table piézo-électrique a trois axes, montée sur la table d’une défonceuse a commande numérique. L’outil de coupe représente une fraise sur laquelle est monté une plaquette en carbure faisant un mouvement de rotation et circulaire, ce qui nous donne une variation de l’angle du grain d’une manière instantané.

L’efficacité des revêtements triode a été montrée en usinage de MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard), donc dans des conditions sévères de coupe, ainsi qu’en défonçage d’OSB (Oriented Strand Board) où un revêtement CrN de 1μm d’épaisseur permet d’usiner 9 fois plus qu’un outil non revêtu [1]. Le but de cette étude est d’examiner comment on peut améliorer la tenue à l’usure des outils de coupe dans l’opération de déroulage du MDF, en traitant la partie active de l’outil. Les modifications des surfaces actives des couteaux consistent à appliquer des films durs (CrAlN, CrSiN), qui ont déjà donné des résultats prometteurs dans l’opération de défonçage du MDF [2], l’un des facteurs limitant dont il faut nous affranchir est l’adhérence des couches déposées sur les outils de coupe. C’est pourquoi nous avons testé des traitements duplex (nitruration ionique+dépôt magnétron). Ces revêtements ont également été testés en simulant les chocs que peuvent générer les noeuds dans un billon. Les revêtements de CrAlN ont été réalisés par PVD sur un bâti dual magnétron RF alors que les couches de CrSiN ont été obtenues par l’institut FEMTO/ST de Besançon dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche. La nitruration ionique a été réalisée dans un four de traitement thermochimique BMI.

The multilayers were obtained from the combined deposition of different layers Cr, CrN and CrAlN thick films on on AISI4140 steel and silicon substrates at 200 °C, and evaluated with respect to fundamental properties such as structure and thermal properties. Cr, CrN and CrAlN single layers were also prepared for comparison purposes. The structural and morphological properties of PVD layers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with EDS + WDS microanalyses, stresses were determined by the Newton’s rings methods using the Stoney’s equation and surface hardening and hardness profiles were evaluated by micro hardness measurements. The XRD data and HRTEM showed that both the Cr/CrN, CrN/CrAlN and Cr/CrN/CrAlN multilayer coatings exhibited B1NaCl structure with a prominent reflection along (200) plane, and CrAlN sub-layer microstructures composed of nanocrystallites uniformly embedded in an amorphous matrix. The innovation of this work was to use the thickness of three different coating types to determine the thermal properties. Furthermore, an empirical equation was developed for the thermal properties variations with temperature of AISI4140 steel coated with different multilayer coatings. The thermal conductivity of CrAlN single layered was lower than the multilayer and the bulk material AISI4140. Moreover, the influences of structure and composition of the multilayer coatings on the thermal properties are discussed. The thermal conductivity of nanoscale thin film is remarkably lower than that of bulk materials because of its various size effects.

The present work enabled characterisation by physical and mechanical techniques (XRD, AFM, MEB, nano-indentation, Young’s modulus, thermal propriety, Stress, porosity, etc.). Moreover, in order to find improved the adhesion of the different deposition condition of the coatings. The results obtained in this work demonstrate that variation in proportion to aluminum alter the resulting columnar morphology and porosity of the coatings. The thermal properties and the physical property are greatly affected by these morphological alterations. The comparison between the different coating microstructures of CrAlN coatings (columnar and fine-grained) reveals advantages for the fine-grained structure. The results are better wear protection and less profile deviation. Correlation between aluminum proportions in CrAlN coatings and his thermal properties revealed that the conductivity and the diffusivity are influenced primarily by size and shape distribution of the pores and secondarily by decrease of the stitch parameter dimension.

The variation of lattice constant and the blue shift of near-band-edge emission indicate that Zn2+ ions are successfully substituted by Mg2+ ions within ZnO lattice. At higher Mg content (x ≥ 0.21), a drastic change appears in the morphology, as a result of structural changes from wurtzite (ZnO) structure into a mixture of wurtzite and cubic (MgO) phases. FTIR study indicated the existence of distinct characteristic absorption peaks at ~442 cm−1 for Zn–O stretching mode that shifted toward the red region with the increase in Mg content. In addition to the host phonons of ZnO, one additional band was observed around 523 cm−1, presumably attributed to the Mg-related vibrational mode. The optical constants and thickness of thin films have been determined using experimental transmittance data. The luminescence intensity at 2.63 eV of Zn0.85Mg0.15O thin films was found to be approximately 13 times higher than that of pure ZnO film measured under the same excitation conditions Thu, 01 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10985/10096 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z HOGGAS, Khadra DJELLOUL, Abdelkader BOUOUDINA, M.

The carbide and carbonitride coatings are deposited by dual RF magnetron sputtering on the reference steel 18CrMo4 and the carburized and carbonitrided one (respectively). The low-pressure carburized and carbonitrided samples present 0.72 and 0.69 w. % carbon content at their surface respectively and a hardness of about 700 Hv0.1. The carburizing and carbonitriding layer are respectively 540 and 390 µm thick, while TiWC and TiWCN were 2.8 and 3.4 µm thick respectively. Tribological tests were performed by a Pin-on-Disk rotative tribometer with alumina and steel (100Cr6) balls. A comparison of the friction coefficient and the wear rate for each sample has been made. The adhesion of the coatings has been performed by analyzing the wear track using optical profilometry, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The best tribological performances were observed by combining carbides coatings and carburized 18CrMo4 or reference steel. In contrast, the TiWCN thin film completely delaminated.
