Structure and morphology of TiB2 duplex coatings deposited over X40 CrMoV 5-1-1 steel by DC magnetron sputtering

abstract

The deposition of titanium diboride (TiB2) films over tool steel substrates (AISI H13 premium/EN X40 CrMoV 5-1-1) is being investigated due to its excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability against liquid aluminium. The use of nitrided steels as substrates for TiB2 deposition may contribute to increase its adhesion and the overall steel resistance in applications such as forging, extrusion and die casting of aluminium. Duplex coatings were obtained by the PVD deposition of TiB2 films over heat treated and nitrided steel using non-reactive DC magnetron sputtering from a TiB2 target, varying the Substrate bias voltage. Well structured and crystalline TiB2 films were obtained for the selected deposition conditions, the best crystalline coatings being obtained for the positively biased substrates. Selected films produced over die-casting pins at a bias voltage of +50 V were tested for resistance to liquid aluminium soldering by immersion tests, and compared with the nitrided steel. The duplex TiB2 coating has a much larger chemical resistance to attack by molten aluminium alloy than the just nitrided steel. Where there is soldering, steel is rapidly attacked and a complex Al-Fe-Si intermetallic forms. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
