Abstract (Spanish)
Se depositaron recubrimientos de (CrAlTiV)N mediante pulverización catódica por magnetrón de corriente continua sobre sustratos de acero AISI H13 con diversos contenidos de Ti-V. La evolución microestructural, la composición química y las fases de los recubrimientos se estudiaron sistemáticamente mediante microscopía de barrido, de fuerza atómica y de transmisión, espectroscopía de rayos X de energía dispersiva y difracción de rayos X. La respuesta a la corrosión de los recubrimientos se evaluó mediante espectroscopia de impedancia electroquímica y técnicas de polarización potenciodinámica. Se desarrollaron estructuras cristalinas de CrAlN y CrAlTiVN. La morfología de puntas piramidales desapareció, aumentando la densificación de los recubrimientos y disminuyendo su rugosidad y el tamaño de grano a medida que aumentaba su cantidad de Ti/V. Se presentó una evidente protección del acero AISI H13 frente a la corrosión en todos los sistemas de recubrimiento, que se caracterizaron por su comportamiento dieléctrico. La alta densificación, el menor tamaño de grano y la formación de la fase nitruro (CrAlTiV)N contribuyeron a que éste tuviera el mejor comportamiento frente a la corrosión, mientras que la aparición de la fase amorfa VN con carácter superconductor del recubrimiento (CrAlTiV)N-14 at% provocó un aumento de su conductividad a pesar de su estructura aparentemente compacta.
Abstract (English)
(CrAlTiV)N coatings were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on AISI H13 steel substrates at various Ti–V contents. The microstructural evolution, chemical composition and phases of coatings, were studied systematically by scanning, atomic force and transmission microscopies, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. The corrosion response of the coatings was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Crystalline structures of CrAlN and CrAlTiVN were developed. The morphology of pyramidal tips disappeared, increasing the densification of the coatings and decreasing their roughness and the grain size as their amount of Ti/V increased. An evident protection of AISI H13 steel against corrosion was presented in all coating systems, which were characterized by their dielectric behavior. The high densification, smaller grain size and the formation of the nitride phase (CrAlTiV)N contributed to this having the best corrosion performance, while the appearance of the amorphous phase VN with superconductive character of the (CrAlTiV)N-14 at% coating led to an increase in its conductivity despite its apparently compact structure
