Abstract

A study of the structural and mechanical properties of nanocrystalline TiAlSiN gradient coatings deposited by cathodic arc deposition techniques at 500 degrees C and post-annealed at 525 degrees C is presented. Analysis of the coatings, chemical composition and microstructure revealed that the coatings have a structure based on (Ti, Al)N nanocrystals with an average size of 10 nm embedded in an amorphous Si3N4 phase. The study of the mechanical properties showed that post-annealing causes improvement and increase of the coatings hardness. A maximum hardness of 48 GPa and elastic modulus of 560 GPa were measured. Also, excellent adhesion to the WC-Co substrate was observed in the post-annealed coatings.
