Abstract

Combining sputtering technology using an industrial-scale four-target DC closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering ion plating system (CFUBMSIPS™) with post heat treatment, a graded multilayer TiN/W coating, consisting of five layers, was synthesized and its outmost W layer was transformed to lubricious WO3 successfully. The coatings were characterized by using GDOES, GXRD, a Rockwell C indentation tester, a nanoindentation tester, and a scratching tester. Wear behavior of coatings was evaluated by using a pin-on-disc tribometer. Through proper post heat treatment, the multilayer TiN/W coating, in spite of having a lower nano-hardness, showed good adhesion, much better wear performance and lower friction coefficient compared with the reference monolayer TiN coating.
