Abstract
A CrC coating was deposited on YT14 cemented carbide cutting tools by a CAIP (cathodic arc ion plating). The surface and interface morphologies, chemical composition, and phases of the obtained coating were analyzed with a field emission scanning electronic microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The COFs (coefficient of frictions) and worn morphologies of the CrC coating at 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C were investigated by using a high temperature tribometer, the effects of wear temperatures on the friction-wear properties of the CrC coating were discussed. The results show that the CrC coating exhibits fine dense structure, and the lattice constants of CrC coatings are dependent on processing parameters. The C and Cr elements in the coating are mutually diffused with the W, Co, and Ti in the substrate. The average COF of the coating at 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C is 0.64, 0.63, and 0.40, respectively. The Cr2O3 layer formed on the CrC coating at 500 °C has excellent oxidation resistance, which improves lubrication and wear performance, the wear mechanism is abrasive wear and oxidation wear.
