INFLUENCE OF PLASMA NITRIDING ON THE CORROSION BEHAVIOUR AND ADHESION OF DLC COATINGS DEPOSITED ON AISI 420 STAINLESS STEEL
In this work the corrosion behavior and adhesion of two DLC (“Diamond Like Carbon”) films (“Soft” and “Hard”) were studied. Both coatings were deposited by PACVD (“Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition”) on plasma-nitrided and non-nitrided AISI 420 stainless steel. Raman spectroscopy was conducted and surface hardness was measured. The microstructure by OM and SEM, was observed. Adhesion tests were performed with C. Rockwell indentation test. Salt Spray and immersion were performed in HCl. The “Soft” coating was 20 μm thick, the “Hard” film was about 2.5 μm. The hardness was of 500 HV in the “Soft” DLC and 1400 HV in the “Hard” DLC. Both coatings presented low friction coefficient and good adhesion when they were deposited on nitrided steel. Also presented good resistance to atmospheric corrosion. HCl DLC degradation slowed rapidly introduced uncoated samples
Influencia de la nitruración por plasma sobre el comportamiento a la corrosión y la adhesión de recubrimientos dlc sobre acero inoxidable aisi 420
Resumen
En este trabajo se estudió el comportamiento a la corrosión y la adhesión de dos recubrimientos DLC ("Diamond Like Carbon"), "Soft" y "Hard", depositados por PACVD ("Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition") sobre acero AISI 420, templado y revenido y/o nitrurado por plasma. Se analizaron por espectroscopía Raman y midió dureza en superficie. Se observó la microestructura por OM y SEM. Se realizaron pruebas de adhesión con indentación Rockwell C. Se practicaron ensayos de Niebla Salina e inmersión en HCl. Los DLC "Soft" presentaron una dureza de 500 HV y un espesor de 20 µm, mientras que los "Hard" tuvieron 1400 HV y 2,5 µm. Ambos recubrimientos presentaron bajo coeficiente de fricción y buena adhesión sobre el sustrato nitrurado. También presentaron buena resistencia a la corrosión atmosférica. En HCl el DLC retardó la degradación que se presentó rápidamente en las muestras sin recubrir.In this work the corrosion behavior and adhesion of two DLC ("Diamond Like Carbon") films ("Soft" and "Hard") were studied.
