Abstract

Ir is the most interesting as an effective oxygen diffusion barrier for super high-temperature structural materials. In this study, an Ir coating, approximately 7 μm thick, was deposited onto Mo substrate by double glow plasma at substrate temperature of about 1,120 K in an argon atmosphere. The crystal orientation, morphology and mechanical property of the Ir coating were investigated by XRD, SEM, AFM, TEM, nanoindentation and scratch test. The results indicated that the (220)-oriented Ir coating was composed of the columnar grains. The surface roughness of the Ir coating was higher than that of the substrate. The hardness and the elastic modulus of the Ir coating were about 9.5 and 340 GPa, respectively. The coating had a high hardness due to the sub-micrometer size grains. The coating had good scratch resistance due to the strong adhesion of the coating to the substrate.
