Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hard protective coatings, and in particular relates to a highly corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, hard amorphous multilayer coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of shipping and shipping, strengthening the surface of marine equipment through surface engineering technology is an effective way to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In recent years, CrN coating has become a potential protective coating for marine equipment due to its high hardness and excellent corrosion resistance. However, CrN coating usually grows in a columnar manner during the deposition process to form coarse columnar crystals, which seriously affects the density of the coating, causing the corrosive liquid to easily invade the coating, making the protection ineffective. In addition, the excessively high friction coefficient is also the main factor limiting the application of CrN as a wear-resistant protective coating. Regulation through doping and multilayer structure is an important direction for the development of high-performance protective coatings. Aluminum (Al) is the most common doping element, which is used to optimize the microstructure of CrN coating and improve its corrosion resistance. Aluminum spontaneously combines with oxygen in the air to form a dense oxide layer, which prevents further oxidation and corrosion of the coating. However, aluminum is soft and has poor wear resistance. The doping of aluminum in the coating cannot significantly improve the friction and wear properties of the CrN coating.

[0003] Multilayer structure regulation is a technical means to form a multilayer coating by alternately depositing different types of materials. It can combine the performance advantages of different materials, use the multilayer interface to simulate the expansion of cracks, prevent stress concentration, and achieve the simultaneous improvement of the mechanical properties and tribological properties of the coating. At present, CrN-based multilayer coatings have appeared CrN / ZrYN, CrN / CrNiN, CrAlN / TiAlN and other types of coatings. For example, patent CN2024101224253 A CrN / ZrYN nano-multilayer film coating and its preparation method discloses a CrN / ZrYN nano-multilayer film coating, and the prepared multilayer coating has both high hardness and high toughness. Patent CN201811108258.8 CrN / CrNiN nano-multilayer coating and its preparation method, nano-multilayer coating and its preparation method and application The prepared CrN / CrNiN nano-multilayer coating has the characteristics of good toughness, low surface roughness, and good corrosion resistance. Compared with a single-layer coating, the structure of a multilayer coating can improve the tribological and corrosion resistance of the coating. However, the existing technologies for CrN-based multilayer coatings are all crystalline structures, and the columnar growth mode of the coatings has not been significantly optimized. There are still deficiencies in actual use, and the corrosion resistance and friction and wear performance of the coatings still have room for improvement. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing coatings. Summary of the invention
