Abstract

Ti(C,N) hard coating is well known as a suitable material for protecting substrate, and functionally gradient design is a method to improve the performance of it. In this study, functionally gradient Ti(C,N) coatings were performed by the technique of capacitive RF PECVD based on the investigation of Ti(C,N) monolayers with different C and N ratios. The results show that the composition and growth rate of Ti(C,N) monolayers are influenced by the nitrogen/methane ratio as other deposition parameters are fixed. A model is also proposed from the results obtained and is employed to calculate the reaction gas ratio and duration time needed for deposition in the gradient coating. The elements of Ti and N in the gradient coatings were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and revealed that the composition changed linearly as designed. The residual stress of the gradient coatings was also measured to show that the gradient design provides the possibility for adjusting the stress distribution of PECVD hard coatings.
