本研究擬在預電漿氮化後之AISI D2工具鋼上進行熱反應沉積擴散處理以獲得高硬度之鉻-氮化物(Cr2N)被覆層。在不同處理條件下所生成之被覆層;其特性將以截面微觀組織、X-ray繞射、元素分佈、硬度及磨耗測試等分析方法檢驗之。 實驗結果證實經雙重處理(先電漿氮化再經熱反應沉積擴散處理)所得之被覆層由鉻-氮化物(Cr2N)及鉻-碳化物(Cr7C3)共組而成,經磨耗測試後發現儘管該被覆層在乾磨耗條件下具有相當高的摩擦係數;但是其耐磨耗性仍表現十分出色。
Hard coating of chromium nitride (Cr2N) fabricated by dual treatment consisted of pre-plasma nitriding followed by TRD treatment has been studied on D2 tool steel. The characterizations of the coated layers obtained from different conditions have been evaluated on their cross sectional microstructures, X-ray diffraction patterns, element distribution profiles, hardness and wear resistance. The experiment results evidenced that the coated layers derived from the dual treatment were composed of chromium nitride, Cr2N, coexisted with chromium carbide, Cr7C3. And the wear test revealed that the friction coefficients of the coated layers were highly elevated under the dry abrasion condition although they performed the excellent wear resistance.
