摘要
Quaternary Ti-B-C-N thin films are deposited on high-speed steel substrates by the reactive magnetron sputtering (RMS) technique. The microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti-B-C-N films with different carbon contents (from 28.9 at% to 54.2 at.%) are explored systematically. The microstructure of Ti-BC-N films deposited by RMS is consisted mainly of Ti(C, N) nano-crystals embedded into an amorphous matrix of a-C/a-CN/a-BN/a-BC. As the carbon content increases, the crystalline size of the films diminishes, but the hardness linearly increases from 14 GPa to 26 GPa. The friction coefficient of the films sliding against steel GCr15 balls in air decreases with the increase of carbon content, which shows that Ti-B-C-N films with both higher hardness and lower friction coefficient can be obtained by means of increasing the carbon concentration in the films.
