Abstract

TiAlN films with thicknesses of 250, 500 and 750 nm were deposited on 4140 steel using the reactive direct current co-unbalanced magnetron sputtering method. The effects of the film thickness on the microstructure were revealed using a field emission scanning electron microscope, an image analyzer and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that grain size apparently increased when the film was at greater thicknesses whereas porosity, lattice strain and dislocation density decreased. Meanwhile, the results of anodic polarization tests in air-saturated 3.5 wt.-% NaCl solution at pH levels of 2, 7 and 10 and at 25 °C showed lower corrosion potential in thicker film, attributed to a lower ratio of grain boundary area to individual grain area. However, a more stable passive film with higher pitting potential was formed. By analyzing using X-ray absorption spectromicroscopy, oxidation of Ti into TiO2 was found on the corroded surface of TiAlN film.

Kurzfassung

TiAlN-Schichten mit einer Dicke von 250, 500 und 750 nm wurden auf den Stahl AISI 4140 mittels reaktivem Sputtern mit Magnetron aufgebracht. Die Auswirkungen der Schichtdicke auf die Mikrostruktur wurden mittels Feldemmissions-Elektronenmikroskop, Bildanalysator und Röntgendiffraktometrie ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Korngröße offensichtlich zunahm, wenn der Film eine größere Dicke hatte, wobei die Porosität, die Gitterdehnung und die Versetzungsdichte abnahmen. Indes ergaben die Resultate der anodischen Polarisationstests in der luftgesättigten 3,5 wt.-% NaCl Lösung bei pH-Werten von 2, 7 und 10 und bei 25 °C ein niedrigeres Korrosionspotential in einem dickeren Film, was sich auf ein niedrigeres Verhältnis der Korngrenzenflächen in dem individuellen Kornbereichen zurückführen ließ. Es ergab sich ein stabilerer Passivfilm bei höherem Pittingpotential. Bei der Analyse mittels Röntgenabsorptionsspektroskopie stellte sich heraus, dass auf der korrodierten Oberfläche des TiAlN-Films eine Oxidation von Ti in TiO2 stattfand.
