Abstract

Language:

The effect of graded or constant bias voltages (-40 V, -80 V and -40/60/80 V) on size grain and surface defects of arc PVD deposited CrN films was investigated. Corrosion resistance evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic curves (Tafel) and the mechanical behavior evaluated by means of instrumented nanoindentation and scratch testing was correlated with the microstructural changes. It was found that the bias voltage variation affects corrosion behavior due to the presence of defects (i.e. open voids, droplets) which also affects the failure mechanisms and increasing spallation. High bias voltage (-80 V) increases nano-hardness and the elastic modulus due to the dense microstructure of the CrN coating.
