Abstract:
Diamond-carbide coatings were synthesized on TiZrHf mid-entropy alloy by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition(MPCVD) method with high-purity methane(CH
4) and hydrogen(H
2) as reaction gases. The structure, phase composition, hardness and wear property of the coatings were obtained under the condition of different CH
4 concentration.The results show that the main components of the coatings after carbonization-deposition are metallic carbide and nanodiamond particles,and the surface hardness is enhanced obviously. Among them, the coatings prepared with 3% methane concentration possess the highest hardness(about 660.2 HV) and the lowest friction coefficient, and the wear-resisting property was modified significantly.
