The application discloses a multilayer gradient
coating and a preparation method and application thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially depositing a TiAlN primer layer, a TiAlSiN
transition layer and a gradient TiAlN / TiSiN wear-resistant layer on the surface of a substrate by using a
physical vapor deposition method, continuously bombarding the surface of the substrate by a
plasma flow in the process, and forming the multilayer gradient
coating after the deposition is completed. In the application, the surface of the substrate is continuously bombarded by the
plasma flow when the multilayer gradient
coating is prepared by using the conventional
physical vapor deposition method, the atomic migration rate of the coating is improved, the
atomic diffusion of the coating is promoted, the defects such as micropores and dislocations in the coating are reduced, the coating density is improved, the atomic mutual
diffusion between the multilayer coating
layers is promoted, the performance gradient interface is more gentle, and the interface
stress concentration is further reduced. Therefore, the risk of interface peeling and layering is reduced from the root, the combination stability of the coating and the cutter substrate and the interlayer
bonding strength are significantly improved, and structural support is provided for long-term service of the coating.
