Description
Summary:The questions of structural engineering of Cr-N system coatings produced by vacuum arc evaporation of Cr cathode in a nitrogen atmosphere are considered. As the variable physical and technological parameters we have used the following ones: pressure of nitrogen atmosphere (3.5…48)×10–4 Torr and negative bias potential applied to the substrate in constant (Ub = – 120 V) and pulse (Uip = – 1200 V) modes. Increase in the pressure without pulse action allows to transfer from Cr + Cr2N phase to phase of textured CrN crystallites with [111] axis. The transition from the metallic phase to the mechanical nitride is accompanied by a decrease in the average size of crystallites. Additional supply of impulse capacity allows to intensify the process of formation of nitrides and stimulates formation at high pressure of radiation-resistant texture units with the [110] axis.
