摘要
We have employed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to study the oxidation behavior of TiAlN hard coatings as a function of Al content and temperature. Results show that for TiAlN with a low Al content (Ti0.75Al0.25N), Ti atoms can always bond with O atoms, while Al atoms bond with O only at a higher temperature. For Ti0.5Al0.5N, both Al and Ti can bond with O atoms, irrespective of temperature. Through analyzing the displacement height of O-bonded metal atoms, we suggest that titanium oxide nucleates at the outermost layer of Ti0.75Al0.25N while the outermost layer after Ti0.5Al0.5N is exposed to oxygen is aluminum oxide. Our simulation results predict, in agreement with experiment, that Ti0.5Al0.5N has superior oxidation resistance in comparison with Ti0.75Al0.25N. This study provides an atomistic insight to the initial stage of the oxidation process, which is else difficult to observe experimentally.
