Abstract

In this work, the dry sliding wear test of uncoated and multilayer TiCN-coated AISI 410 steel against high carbon steel disc recognized at 2.30267 ms−1 sliding speeds and under a three series load of 5, 10 and 20 N at room temperature. On account of the more coherent interface between TiCN and C probably found, there are high hardness and superior wear resistance. Compared to AISI 410 uncoated steel, the presence of C in the multilayer TiCN coatings leads to reduced coefficient of friction and wear loss. The multilayer TiCN coating is characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, micro-hardness and pin-on-disc tribometer tests. The more grooving region, pits and ploughing ridge were examined on the worn surface of the AISI 410 uncoated steel. The result shows hard multilayer TiCN-coated particles viewing on the worn surface of the high carbon steel disc.
