Description

A kind of preparation method of nano composite super-hard film
Technical field
The invention belongs to the thin-film material preparation field, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of nano composite super-hard film.
Background technology
Abominable actual industrial and mineral condition such as some high temperature, impact, heavy duty, strong corrosive medium makes that the research and development of sufacing in recent years obtain significant progress, becomes the emerging field that scientific and technological circle attract people's attention.Hard thin film material enjoys material circle to pay close attention to as the effective means of improving the workpiece surface performance.Professor S.Veprek has proposed the design concept of nanocrystalline (nc)/amorphous (α) composite construction the earliest, and general formula is expressed as nc-MeN/ α-Si 3N 4
(Me=Ti,?Cr、Zr、V)。Its microstructure generally is that the crystalline phase of nc-MeN nano-scale evenly is embedded in α-Si 3N 4In the amorphous skeleton matrix (skeleton thickness<1nm).The hardness of this nano compound film has surpassed 40GPa, becomes the new super-hard film material of a class.This type of superhard film has overcome the periodic structure error of preparation superlattice superhard films and the complicacy of technology, and this type of film demonstrates extremely superior mechanical property (particularly obdurability collaborative strengthen, up to the elastic restoration ratio 90% or more), good chemical stability (as the oxidation-resistance above 1000 ℃ and good erosion resistance) etc., has huge application advantage in the frictional wear field.
