고속도 공구강 기판에 반응성 스퍼터링법으로 증착된 HfN/Si$_3$N$_4$와 NbN/Si$_3$N$_4$다층박막의 기계적인 성질들을 막 증착 조건에 따라 평가하였다. HfN/Si$_3$N$_4$와 NbN/Si$_3$N$_4$ 다층박막의 강도는 $N_2$/Ar비가 0.4일 때가지 증가하다가 유량비가 증가함에 따라 더 이상 증가하지 않았다. 두 다층박막의 강도는 낮은 온도에서의 열처리에 의해서는 거의 변화가 업지만 80$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온에서는 열처리에 의한 산화로 인하여 감소하였다. 낮은 온도에서의 열처리는 밀착성을 향상시키는 반면 고온에서의 열처리는 강도의 감소 이외에 밀착성이 감소하므로 바람직하지 못하다.

Recently, many of the current development in surface modification engineering are focused on multilayered coatings. Multilayered coatings have the potential to improve the tribological and corrosion properties of tools and components. By using cathodic arc deposition, $WC-Ti_{1-x}Al_xN$ multilayers were deposited on steel substrates. Wear tests of four multiplayer coatings were performed using a ball-on-disc configuration with a linear sliding speed of 0.1m/s, 5N load. The tests were carried out at room temperature in airby employing AISI 52100 steel ball ($H_v=848N$) of 11mm in diameter. Electrochemical tests were performed using the potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The surface morphology and topography of the wear scars of tribo-element and the corroded specimen have been determined by using scanning electron spectroscopy (SEM). Also, wear mechanism was determined by using SEM coupled with EDS. Results have showed an improved wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the $WC-Ti_{1-x}Al_xN$ coatings.

WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$) N coatings of constant changing Al concentration were deposited on S45C substrates by high-ionization sputtered PVD method. The Al concentration could be controlled by using evaporation source for Al and fixing the evaporation rate of the metals (i.e, WC- $Ti_{0.86}$A $l_{0.14}$N, WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N, and WC- $Ti_{0.58}$A $l_{0.42}$N). The corrosion behavior of WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$)N coatings in a deaerated 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by electrochemical corrosion tests and surface analyses. The measured galvanic corrosion currents between coating and substrate indicated that WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating showed the best resistance of the coating tested. The results of potentiodynamic polarization tests showed that the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating deposited with 32W/c $m^2$ of Al target revealed higher corrosion resistance. This indicated that the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating is effective in improving corrosion resistance. In EIS, the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating showed one time constant loop and increased a polarization resistance of coating ( $R_{coat}$) relative to other samples. Compositional variations of WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$)N coatings were analyzed by EDS and XRD analysis was performed to evaluate the crystal structure and compounds formation behavior. Surface morphologies of the films were observed using SEM and AFM. Scratch test was performed to measure film adhesion strength.strength. adhesion strength.strength.
