This paper describes the methods for the deposition of AHC films on aluminium alloys (2024, 7075 and an additional Al-Si alloy) and AISI 4340 steel. Both unmodified and silicon modified AHC films were deposited. AHC films could be deposited on aluminium alloys without any interlayer. The deposition of AHC films on steel required an interlayer which could be aluminium, silicon or chromium. Thin films (1–2 μm) deposited on aluminium alloys and steel influenced durability of films and friction coefficients in contact with steel. These were believed to be due to plastic deformation of substrates. Deposition of a thicker coating system (interlayer + AHC) reduced friction coefficients and also improved film durability. The durability of films deposited on steel substrates was evaluated under both unlubricated and lubricated conditions for 5.5 million cycles under 4.4 N load and up to 2.5 m/s sliding speed. Although there was wear, the films survived 5.5 million test cycles under unlubricated sliding, but in the presence of two lubricants, the film wear was very small and could not be measured. It was observed that the wear of the steel counterface in contact with silicon-containing AHC films could be higher than that against an uncoated steel in the presence of certain lubricants. |
