Abstract
Multilayer physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating of W/W2N (tungsten/tungsten nitride) on Orvar Supreme steel was tested under the different conditions to investigate their friction and wear behaviour with their mechanical properties. Coatings were sputtered by reactive magnetron sputtering in a N2/Ar atmosphere. Pin on disc test was performed on Orvar Supreme steel at room temperature to elevated temperature (800°C). Steel ball (100Cr6) and alumina ball are used to evaluate the frictional and wear properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analyses were performed to obtain the microstructure and chemical composition of the material. Mechanical properties of coating were evaluated using nanoindentation and scratch test.
