Paraffinöl geschmierte Wälztests wurden an extrem harten Diamantschichten auf hartem SSiC Substrat, unterschiedlichen, harten DLC-Schichten auf 100Cr6 Substraten (HRC60) sowie ausgewählten DLC-Schichten auf ungehärtetem Stahl (HRC 20) durchgeführt. Die Wälztests wurden in einem Zweischeibentribometer vom Typ Amsler bei einer anfänglichen, maximalen Flächenpressung nach Hertz von P0=2,3 GPa ausgeführt. Als Abbruchkriterium für die Tests wurde das Erreichen von n=1.000.000 Überrollungen (Langzeittests n=10.000.000 Überrollungen) oder das Auftreten einer Schädigung mit einer zusammenhängenden Fläche von A>1 mm2 festgelegt. Die Wälztests zeigten, dass das harte SSiC Substrat zwar eine stützende Wirkung auf die Diamantschicht hat, diese aber aufgrund von Rissen im Substrat versagte. Ferner gibt es wenigstens zwei DLC-Schichten, die, aufgebracht auf 100Cr6 Scheiben (HRC60), den Wälztests bis n=10.000.000 Überrollungen ohne nennenswerte Schäden widerstanden. Diese Schichten passten sich auch den Verformungen des weichen, stickstofflegierten Stahls (HRC20) an, ohne das es zu größeren Abplatzungen kam (A>1 mm2).
Diamond like carbon (DLC)-coatings are applied very successfully on computer discs. Sliding friction tests confirm their high performance as dry lubricants with friction coefficients (COFs) below 0.1. In contrast to sliding tests, until very recently most of the DLC-coatings failed in slip-rolling test after fewer cycles than uncoated samples. However, present tests with DLC-coatings of seven different suppliers show a more promising tribological behaviour under slip-rolling conditions. The DLC-coatings were deposited onto steel 100Cr6, HRC 60, with a thickness of 23 ?m. The counter bodies were uncoated, grinded or polished 100Cr6 discs with 30 mm radius of curvature. The tests were performed on a twin disc testing rig (Amsler type) with paraffin oil under boundary/mixed lubrication and rolling with 10% slip. The initial, average Hertzian contact pressure was adjusted to Pm = 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 GPa. The failure criterion was defined as the occurrence of a single damaged area larger than 1 mm2, which was controlled by optical microscopy (OM). An acoustic emission (AE) measurement system was installed as an additional online control for coating failure. The stressed coatings and the chipping areas were analyzed by OM, SEM, EDX, AFM and Raman spectroscopy.
Until now, the results reveal that a large scatter in lifetime of coatings occurs not only between samples of different coaters but also between the samples of one single batch. The highest lifetime reached by a DLC-coating under these testing conditions is 10 × 106 cycles. That is the highest life time for a coating tested under the testing conditions above in our laboratory so far. The following factors were identified to influence the life time of the coatings: coating thickness, interlayer type, topography of the coatings, counter body roughness and mechanical properties. But the most important factor determining the life time of the coatings is that the coating process does produce homogenous layers free of faults.
Slip-rolling resistant thin film ta-C coatings for up to 3.000 MPa of Hertzian contact pressure
(2009)
Le secteur automobile doit faire face actuellement à de nouveaux challenges au niveau de la construction allégée, des économies de carburant et des coûts. Ces exigences motivent la mise au point de tribosystèmes pouvant résister à des pressions de contact de plus en plus élevées avec de faibles coefficients de frottement. L'optimisation de systèmes existants par l'application de revêtements de surface performants représente une alternative intéressante. Ce texte présente les performances de couches minces dans des conditions d'essais de slip-rolling (roulement à composante de glissement) en présence de lubrifiants liquides. Après une première sélection à température ambiante, les revêtements les plus performants ont été testés à 120 °C. Il s'agit de revêtements DLC en carbone hydrogéné (a-C:H) et en carbone tétraédrique (ta-C) de dernières générations ainsi qu'un nouveau système « revêtement/substrat ». Certains des revêtements DLC développés récemment sont résistants en slip-rolling au moins jusq'à 10 millions de cycles à 120 °C dans l'huile moteur sous des pressions hertziennes de contact de P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. De plus, le nouveau système revêtement Zr(C,N)x/substrat peut résister au moins à 1 million de cycles sous des pressions hertziennes initiales de contact allant jusqu'à P0max = 3500 MPa et à des températures de lubrifiant d'au moins 120 °C. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of surface coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents thin film coatings performances in a bench mark test procedure exerting slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. After a first selection at room temperature, the most resistant coatings were evaluated at 120 °C. These are newly developed DLC coatings (a-C:H & ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system. Some of the newly developed DLC-coatings are slip-rolling resistant for at least up to 10 million cycles at 120 °C oil temperature) under Hertzian contact pressures of P0max = 2600 / 2940 MPa. Furthermore, this novel Zr-based thin film coating can withstand at least 1 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to P0max = 3500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions.
Nowadays, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are mainly used in many low loaded applications such as in machine tools, computer devices and many more.
Especially the automotive industry anticipates a benefit in applying such coatings in association with the lightweight construction of mechanical parts, for instance in gear components.
The ulterior motive is a global performance increase regarding environmental impact and power efficiency.
In recent years, the slip-rolling resistance of DLC, a-C and ta-C thin film coatings was improved considerably.
In view of the mechanical application of thin film coatings, there is still room for improvements.
It was experimentally shown, that a-C and ta-C coatings can be slip-rolling resistant at room temperature in unaddivated paraffin oil up to ten million cycles under Hertzian contact pressures up to P0max = 2.9 GPa.
Typically, the prime coated steel substrates were made of the hardened and tempered steels 100Cr6H and Cronidur 30.
The aim of the work this to overtake these results, i.e. at higher maximum Hertzian pressures up to P0max = 4.2 GPa.
Under such extreme conditions, it is necessary to choose special steels to avoid the failure of the substrate and to permit a higher load carrying capacity of the coating-substrate-system.
In consideration of the increased substrate properties, two high toughness spring steels and an ultra-high toughness aerospace steel were tested on a twin disc tribometer of the Amsler type as well as on an Optimol TwinDisc test rig under mixed/boundary conditions.
Different factors such as residual stresses of the substrate, influences of the lubrication, and wear behaviour were investigated.
The respective results are presented here.
The light-weight approach and fuel economy targets in today's automotive engineering require tribosystems, which can withstand higher contact pressures associated with low coefficients of friction. The application of high-performance coatings represents one approach among others. This paper presents some recently developed DLC coatings (a-C:H and ta-C) as well as a novel coating-substrate system (Zr(C,N)) in a benchmark test procedure under slip-rolling conditions in the presence of liquid lubricants. Various coatings with different thickness, interlayer and substrates were evaluated for their slip-rolling resistance in different lubricants at ambient temperature and at 120 °C. Results indicate that some of these coating systems can withstand at least 10 million cycles under initial Hertzian contact pressures of up to Pmax = 3.500 MPa and oil temperatures of at least 120 °C associated with low coefficients of friction under mixed/boundary conditions. Surface of the coatings and the counter bodies were analysed and compared with untreated substrates.
