The invention discloses a method for depositing a TiAlSiN nano composite hard film through high-power pulse magnetron
sputtering. An advanced combination technology of an arc enhanced
glow discharge technology and a high-power pulse magnetron
sputtering technology is adopted, and the TiAlSiN thin film which is well combined with a base body and is high in
hardness, good in
toughness and high in abrasion resistance is obtained. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out
ion cleaning and
etching on the surface of a workpiece matrix by utilizing
argon ions generated by arc enhanced
glow discharge, then optimizing key process parameters by adopting a high-power pulse magnetron
sputtering technology under constant
deposition temperature,
gas pressure and reaction gas proportion, and depositing a TiAlSiN hard film on the surface of a hard
alloy, stainless steel or high-speed steel, so as to obtain the TiAlSiN hard film on the surface of the hard
alloy, stainless steel or high-speed steel. The thickness and the density of the film are easy to control, meanwhile, the
binding force and the
coating uniformity of the TiAlSiN film are remarkably improved, and excellent
wear resistance and
corrosion resistance are obtained. The method is easy to operate, high in
repeatability, wide in applicability and wide in application prospect in the field of surface strengthening of advanced
cutting tools and precision forming dies.
