Abstract

A cylinder-on-plate line-contact reciprocated sliding testing machine and a tension-compression testing machine were used to compare the wear, tension and fatigue performance of the specimens with Ti-base and Cr-base coatings grown by physical vapor deposition process. The fracture mechanisms were examined utilizing a scanning electron microscope. The experimental results are as follows: The Cr-base coatings possessed far better wear resistance than the Ti-base coatings. The application of surface films did not affect the Young's modulus and yield points but did little decrease the fracture strains. For fatigue, the application of the surface coatings improved the endurance limit by 20-40 MPa.
