Abstract

Ti-AI-Si-N coating layers were deposited on WC-Co substrates by a hybrid system of arc ion plating and sputtering techniques. The coatings were prepared with different Si contents to investigate the effect of Si content on their mechanical properties and microstructures. The dry sliding wear experiments were conducted on Ti-AI-Si-N coated WC-Co discs at constant load, 3N, and sliding speed, 0.1 m/s with two different counterpart materials such as steel ball and zirconia ball using a conventional ball-on-disc sliding wear apparatus. In the case of steel ball, the friction coefficient of Ti-AI-Si-N coating layers became lower than that of Ti-AI­N coating layers. The friction coefficient decreased with increasing of Si content due to adhesive wear behavior between coating layer and steel ball. On the contrary, in the case of zirconia ball, the friction coefficient increased with increasing of Si content, indicating that abrasive wear behavior was more dominant when the coating layers slid against zirconia ball.

아크 이온 플레이팅과 스퍼터로 구성된 하이브리드 시스템을 이용하여 다성분계 Ti-Al-Si-N 코팅막을 WC-Co 기판에 증착하였다. 증착시 Si 함량을 변화시켜 코팅막의 마모특성에 Si 함량이 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 마모 특성을 관찰하기 위하여 Ti-Al-Si-N 코팅막이 증착된 WC-Co 원판에 3N의 하중, 0.1 m/s의 속도로 볼 온 디스크(ball-on-disk) 형태의 마모시험기를 이용하여 건식 마모 실험을 하였다. 상대재로는 스틸볼과 지르코니아볼을 사용하였다. 상대재가 스틸볼의 경우 Ti-Al-Si-N 코팅막의 마찰계수가 Ti-Al-N 코팅막의 마찰계수보다 낮게 나타났다 이는 Si가 첨가되어 마모시 상대재와 코팅막 사이에 자기윤활효과(self-lubricant effect)에 의한 것으로 여겨진다. 코팅막과 스틸볼 사이에 응착 마모 거동을 보였으며, Si의 함량이 증가함에 따라 마찰계수는 감소하였다. 한편, 상대재가 지르코니아 볼의 경우 코팅막과 지르코니아 볼 사이에서 연삭마모 거동이 더 지배적이었고, Si 함량이 증가할수록 마찰계수는 증가하였다.
