Microstructure Formation and Mechanical Properties of Multi-Phase Coating by Thermos Plasma Nitriding of Gradient Cu-Ti Films on C61900 Cu Alloy
To improve the processing efficiency and the surface properties of C61900 Cu alloy, a gradient Cu-Ti film with a Ti/Cu atom ratio of 7:1, 7:4, and 1:2 was pre-fabricated by the unbalanced magnetron sputtering process and then nitrided by thermos plasma nitriding. The phase structure, elemental compo...

Combining calculation by the first principle method with thermodynamic analysis, the microstructural formation and phase composition of the Cu-Ti-N system were investigated to reveal the mechanism of improved wear resistance, which indicated the possible formation of various Cu-Ti intermetallics and Ti-N compounds. The Al in the C61900 Cu substrate also participated in the generation of the AlCu<sub>2</sub>Ti compound, which is a ductile phase with good hardness and elastic modulus.
