The effect of the constant bias potential (Ub) supplied to the substrate upon condensation and pressure of the nitrogen atmosphere (PN) on the elemental composition, growth morphology, texture, and physical-mechanical characteristics of vacuum-arc (AlCrTiVZrNb)Nx coatings is studied. It is established that with increasing Ub from – 110V to – 200V, the axis of preferential growth of crystallites of the fcc phase from [100] to [110] changes. Such a change is accompanied by a decrease in the hardness (H) and the ratio H/E (where E is the modulus of elasticity). The conditions for the formation of the preferential orientation of the crystallites (axial texture) of vacuum-arc (AlCrTiVZrNb)Nx coatings and the influence of texture on mechanical properties are discussed. It was established that the change in PN in the range (1.7-5)(10 – 3 Torr basically allows to vary the degree of filling of the coating with nitrogen atoms. Based on the revealed regularities, the conditions for achieving high hardness for vacuum-arc coatings of nitrides AlCrTiVZrNb high-entropy alloy are substantiated. Because of the presence in the alloy of elements with a relatively low heat of nitride formation, in order to achieve high hardness, it is necessary to use deposition conditions with relatively low energy of bombarding atoms. The use of a low Ub ( –110 V at the highest pressure PN ( 5(10 – 3 Torr allows achieving an superhard state with a hardness of 44 GPa. |
