摘要
An investigation was made of the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) characteristics of an aerospace bearing steel 440C coated with TiN films of various thicknesses. Particular emphasis was placed on the wear and corrosion properties of the film-substrate system and how these properties correlate with the RCF behavior. Two physical vapor deposition methods, magnetron sputtering and hollow cathode discharge ion plating, were used to evaluate the potential of each as TiN coating systems for advanced bearing applications. The surface metallurgical characteristics of the coatings were determined by employing surface and structure analytical techniques. RCF testing was utilized to evaluate the tribological characteristics of TiN-coated and uncoated specimens. The results showed that TiN coatings with thicknesses below 1 μm resulted in marked improvements in the RCF lives of base steel substrates under both mild and heavy loading conditions.
