Abstract
Aluminium bronze films were deposited using the hollow cathode discharge (HCD) ion plating technique, and their structures and properties were examined and studied. Both film and substrate were QA1 10-4-4 (10 wt.% Al, 4 wt.% Fe, 4 wt.% Ni, balance Cu). The results show that ion-plated aluminium bronze films have the same structure as the bulk material, but their grains are much smaller than those of the bulk material. The results of X-ray diffraction show that ion-plated aliminium bronze has more γ 2 (Cu 9Al 4) and K (NiAl) phases than the bulk material, and the residual stresses in the films are compressive. The ion-plated films increase the wear-resistance of aluminium bronze material and its fatigue-resistant properties.
