Abstract

In this study, CrTiAlN coatings were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel by cathodic arc evaporation under a systematic variation of the substrate bias voltage. The coating morphology and properties including surface roughness, adhesion, hardness/elastic modulus (H/E) ratio, and friction behavior were analyzed to evaluate the impact of the substrate bias voltage on the coating microstructure and properties. The results suggest that for an optimized value of the substrate bias voltage, i.e. - 150 V, the CrTiAlN coatings showed increased Cr content and improved properties, such as higher adhesion strength, hardness, and elastic modulus in comparison to the coatings deposited by other substrate bias voltage. Moreover, the optimum coatings achieved a remarkable reduction in the steel friction coefficient from 0.65 to 0.45.
