Abstract
In order to investigate the different Cr-N formation characteristics of plasma nitrided hard Cr coatings, Cr was electrodeposited on AISI 1010 steel and plasma nitrided at 600, 700 and 800 °C for 3 h, 5 h and 7 h, respectively. Phase analyses of resulting Cr-N phases and grain size of Cr layer before and after nitriding process were calculated by X-ray diffraction analysis. Structure of nitride layer and its thickness were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy micrographs. The micrographs indicated that samples consisted of three distinctive layers. In order to distinguish these layers, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) analysis were used as well as elemental distribution versus depth was plotted. The Cr-N diffusion was investigated by layer thickness measurements, and diffusion coefficient as well as activation energies were calculated.
Kurzfassung
Um die verschiedenen Charakteristika der Cr-N-Bildung von plasmanitrierten Hartchromschichten zu untersuchen, wurde der Stahl AISI 1010 mit Chrom galvanisiert und bei 600, 700 bzw. 800 °C für 3 h, 5 h und 7 h plasmanitriert. Die Phasenanalyse der Cr-N-Phasen und die Korngröße der Chromschicht vor und nach dem Nitrierprozess wurden mittels Röntgendiffraktionsanalyse berechnet. Die Struktur der Nitridschicht und ihre Dicke wurden mittels Rasterlelektronenmikroskop analysiert. Die mikrostrukturellen Aufnahmen deuten darauf hin, dass die Proben aus drei verschiedenen Lagen bestehen. Um diese Lagen zu unterscheiden, wurden Rasterelektronenmikroskopie- und EDS-Analysen angewandt sowie die Elementverteilung über die Tiefe bestimmt. Die Cr-N-Diffusion wurde mit Schichtdickenmessungen untersucht und der Diffusionskoeffizient und die Aktivierungsenergien berechnet.
