JS2-WeA-P.2 SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THIN HARD COAT-<br />

INGS OF CHROMIUM CARBIDES. L. Aissani. Département de Physique, Centre universitaire<br />

Hard chromium carbide coatings were elaborated by depositing a chromium layer ( 3μm or 1 μm<br />

thickness ), using the physical vapour deposition technique of magnetron sputtering, on carbon steel<br />

substrates and, subsequently, annealing the system in vacuum at temperatures from 200°C to<br />

1200°C. Structural characterization was assessed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.<br />

Some mechanical properties such as micro and nano-hardness and residual stresses were<br />

studied. It was found that the binary carbides Cr 7 C 3 , and Cr 23 C 6 appear at 700°C and 900°C respectively.<br />

The Cr 7 C 3 compound transforms then at 1000°C into ternary carbide (Cr,Fe) 7 C 3 . It was<br />

showed that the micro and nano-hardness increase with the rising of annealing temperature until<br />

reaching a maximum value and then decreases. The increase of the hardness is associated to the<br />

chromium carbides formation, which are harder. However, its decrease is due to the iron atoms diffusion<br />

into the coating layer. Thicker Chromium coatings present a better adhesive properties. It is,<br />

also, observed that the compressive residual stresses in coating (σ ϕ = -734 MPa at 900°C) become<br />

tensile at 1000°C (σ ϕ = 127 MPa).<br />

Keywords: Chromium, coating, carbides, thin films<br />
