Abstract
abstractBoronizing treatment was done to form a boride surface layer well bonded with cemented carbide substrate. Multilayer microcrystalline diamond (MCD) and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings were prepared on the boronizing cemented carbide substrate by hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. The surface and the cross section micrograph, coating component, hardness and adhesion of the as-deposited diamond coatings were observed with a SEM, Raman spectroscopy, nano-indenter and a Rockwell hardness tester accordingly. The results show that the MCD coating consists of well-faceted grains and the hardness of the MCD coating is about 85GPa. The NCD coating has morphological features with grain sizes of several tens of nanometer. The hardness of the NCD coating is about 52GPa. The boron doping of cemented carbide substrate can improve the fracture strength of the diamond film to some extent, and the adhesion of multilayer NCD/MCD coating is better than that of monolayer MCD and monolayer NCD coating.
