This study deals with the friction and wear characteristics of C-N coated SCM415 steel. The PSII(plasma source ion implantation) apparatus was built and a SCM415 test piece with steel substrate was treated with carbon nitrogen by this apparatus. The composition and structure of the surface layer were analyzed and compared with that of PVD(physical vapor decomposition) coated TiN layer. It was found that both of friction coefficient of C-N coating and TiN coating decreased with increasing load, however, C-N coating showed relatively lower faction coefficient than that of TiN coating. The micro-vickers hardness of C-N film is 3200 Hv, which is $32\~43\%$ higher than that of TiN film. The critical load of C-N film is 52N, which is $25\%$ higher than that of TiN film. The hardness of C-N film fabricated by Plasma ion implantation is $61\~70\%$ higher than that of base material, and faction coefficient is $14\~50\%$ lower than that of base material. It is also interesting to note that the friction was changed from adhesive wear mode to light oxidizing wear mode.

보호피막을 입히는 방법으로는 화학증착법과 물리증착법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 고온 분위기에서 기체 상태인 반응물의 화학반응을 통하여 원하는 물질을 증착시키는 화학증착법은 물리증착법에 비해 점착성(adhesion)이 우수하고, 보호피막층의 성분조절이 용이하며, 반응물이 기체상태이므로 대량생산이 용이하여 보호피막 증착법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. $Si_3N_4$-TiC ceramic 표면에 TiC, TiN 및 Ti(C, N) coating을 함으로써 얻을 수 잇는 장점들은 표면층의 경도를 증가시키며, steel과의 마찰계수의 감소 및 coating 층 자체가 고온에서 고체 윤활제로 작용하여 마찰열의 상당한 감소를 얻을 수 있으며, 또한 coating층 자체가 비교적 안정한 화합물로 피삭재내의 성분원소들에 대한 diffusion barrier로 작용되며, 내식성을 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 각 증착층의 미소경도, 열충격저항, steel과의 마찰계수를 측정하였으며, 최종적으로 절삭시험을 통하여 증착층들의 내마모성을 조사, 규명하였다.

In this study, TiAlSiN coatings have been successfully synthesized on stainless steel and tungsten carbide substrate by a hybrid coating method employing a cathodic arc and a magnetron sputtering source. TiAl and Si target were vaporized with the cathodic arc source and the magnetron sputtering source, respectively. Process gas was the mixture of nitrogen and argon gas. With the increase of Si content, the crystallinity and the grain size of TiAlSiN film was decreased. At the Si content of more than 8 at.%, grain size of TiAlSiN was saturated at around 2 nm. The hardness value of the TiAlSiN film increased with incorporation of Si, and had the maximum value of ~ 3,233 Hv at the Si content of 9.2 at.%. The oxidation resistance of TiAlSiN film was enhanced with the increase of Si content.

As technology advances, there is a demand for development of hard, solid lubricant coating. (Ti,Cr)N-$MoS_2$, films were deposited on SKD 11 tool steel substrate by co-deposition of $MoS_2$, with (Ti,Cr)N using a D.C. magnetron sputtering process. The influence of the $N_2/Ar$ gas ratio, the deposition temperature, the amount of $MoS_2$ in the films, and the bias voltage on the mechanical and the structural properties of the films were investigated. Wear tests were performed on the films deposited in various conditions.

In this study, surface morphology and mechanical property of TiN and DLC coated pedicle screw have been investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, vickers hardness test, axial gripping, and axial torsional gripping capacity test. From the EDS and XRD results, the composition and crystal structure of TiN and DLC coated surface were verified. The hardness value was increased by TIN and DLC coating, and the DLC coating surface has the highest value. The gripping capacity also showed higher value for TiN and DLC coated specimen than that of non-coated (Ti alloy) surface. The surface morphology of gripping tested specimen showed rougher scratched surface from Ti alloy than TiN and DLC coated layer.

PVD coating is a technology that can be applied to various industries, and is widely used for processing molds and machinery, improving performance of core parts, and extending the life. Therefore, there is a need for a research on a device and a process technology that can adjust the performance to suit each application. In this study, a PVD coating device with ion density control was used to deposit a coating layer on SKD 11, a cold die steel, with magnetron currents of 1 A, 2 A, 3 A at arc currents of 80 A, 100 A, 130 A. It examined the mechanical properties for each condition. Increasing the arc current and magnetron current could improve the thickness, adhesion, and hardness of the coating layer. Especially, When the magnetron current was high, it suppressed the droplets that could be generated by the high arc current, showing excellent surface uniformity and adhesion of the coating layer.

TiAlCN coatings with various C contents were synthesized by unbalanced magnetron sputtering. The characteristics, the crystalline structure, surface morphology, hardness, and friction coefficient of the coatings as a function of the C content were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), a microhardness tester, and a wear test. In addition, their corrosion behaviors in a deaerated 3.5 wt% NaCl solution at $40^{\circ}C$ were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results indicated that the $Ti_{14.9}Al_{15.5}C_{30.7}N_{38.9}$ coating had the highest hardness, elastic modulus, and a plastic deformation resistance of 39 GPa, 359 GPa, and 0.55, respectively, and it also had the lowest friction coefficient of approximately 0.26. Comparative evaluation of the TiAlCN coatings indicated that a wide range of coating properties, especially coating hardness, could be obtained by the synthesis methods and processing variables. The microhardness of the coatings was much higher than that from previously reported coating using similar magnetron sputtering processes. It was almost as high as the microhardness measured from the TiAlCN coatings (~41 GPa) synthesized using an arc ion plating process. The potentiodynamic test showed that the corrosion resistance of the TiAlCN coatings was significantly better than the TiAlN coatings, and their corrosion current density ($i_{corr}$), corrosion potentials ($E_{corr}$) and corrosion rate decreased with an increasing C content in the coatings. The much denser microstructure of the coatings due to the increased amount of amorphous phase with increasing C contents in the coatings could result in the the improved corrosion resistance of the coatings.
