Refractory amorphous metallic (W0.6Re0.4)76B24 coatings on steel substrates
Abstract
Refractory metallic coatings of (W0.6Re0.4)76B24 (WReB) have been deposited onto glass, quartz, and heat-treated AISI 52100 bearing steel substrates by dc magnetron sputtering. As-deposited WReB films are amorphous, as shown by their diffuse x-ray diffraction patterns; chemically homogeneous, according to secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis; and they exhibit a very high (~1000°C) crystallization temperature. Adhesion strength of these coatings on heat-treated AISI 52100 steel is in excess of ~20, 000 psi and they possess high microhardness (~2400 HV50). Unlubricated wear resistance of such hard and adherent amorphous metallic coatings on AISI 52100 steel is studied using the pin-on-disc method under various loading conditions. Amorphous metallic WReB coatings, about 4 µm thick, exhibit an improvement of more than two and a half orders of magnitude in the unlubricated wear resistance over that of the uncoated AISI 52100 steel.
