Description

VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG. HARTSTOFFSCHICHTEN MANUFACTURING METHOD. HARTSTOFFTECHNIK LAYERS
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dekorativer Hartstoffschichten hoher Farbstabilität im grau- schwarzen Farbbereich sowie dekorative Hartstoffschichten dieser Art.The invention relates to a method for producing decorative hard material layers with high color stability in the gray-black color range and decorative hard material layers of this type.
Die Herstellung von Hartstoffschichten im grauen oder schwarzen Farbbereich ist bekannt und erfolgt nach unterschiedlichen Methoden und auch mit unterschiedlichen Schichtmaterialien. Beispielsweise kann durch Eloxieren, galvanisiertes Schwarzchrom und Schwarznickel, durch Ti- tanaluminiumnitride sowie amorphe Kohlenstoffschichten ein Herstellen schwarzer dekorativer Farben erfolgen, aber bei all diesen bekannten Verfahren besteht der Nachteil, daß die erzielbaren Farbvariationen beschränkt sind, und zwar insbesondere dann, wenn eine Niedrigtempera- turbeschichtung von galvanisch vormetallisierten Kunststoffteilen erfolgen muß oder wenn stabile mechanische Eigenschaften gefordert werden. Des weiteren bereitet es bei derartigen dekorativen Hartstoffschichten im grauen oder schwarzen Farbbereich häufig Schwierigkeiten eine Langzeitstabilität der jeweiligen Farbe sicherzustellen.The production of hard material layers in the gray or black color range is known and takes place according to different methods and also with different layer materials. For example, black decorative colors can be produced by anodizing, galvanized black chrome and black nickel, by titanium aluminum nitrides and amorphous carbon layers, but there is the disadvantage in all of these known processes that the achievable color variations are limited, in particular when a low temperature by means of galvanic pre-metallized plastic parts or when stable mechanical properties are required. Furthermore, with such decorative hard material layers in the gray or black color range, it is often difficult to ensure long-term stability of the respective color.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die vorstehend erwähnten Nachteile zu beseitigen und es zu ermöglichen, farbstabile Hartstoffschichten im grauen bis schwarzen Farbbereich zu schaffen, die ein in diesem Bereich breites Spektrum der Farbgebung zulassen und eine hohe Farbstabüität gewährleisten. Die Erzeugung dieser Hartstoffschichten soll mittels solcher Verfahren möglich sein, die es gestatten, auch Kunststoff- teile mit entsprechend hoher Farbstabüität zu beschichten.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and to make it possible to create color-stable hard material layers in the gray to black color range which allow a broad spectrum of coloration in this range and a high one Ensure color stability. It should be possible to produce these hard material layers by means of processes which also allow plastic parts with a correspondingly high color stability to be coated.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung im wesentlichen dadurch, daß auf dem jeweils zu beschichtenden Substrat als Schichtwerkstoff wenigstens ein Metallcarbonitπd und/ oder wenigstens ein Metallcarbonitπdoxid abgeschieden wird, wobei der Anteil der Metallkomponente im Bereich von etwa 15 at% bis etwa 70 at% und das Verhältnis der MeC- und MeN-An teile m der Schicht in einem Verhältnis von etwa 0,2 bis etwa 2,2 gewählt wird.This object is essentially achieved in that at least one metal carbonite and / or at least one metal carbonite oxide is deposited as a layer material on the substrate to be coated, the proportion of the metal component being in the range from about 15 at% to about 70 at% and the ratio of the MeC and MeN proportions m of the layer is selected in a ratio of about 0.2 to about 2.2.
Durch Variation der Anteile der Metalle und der Reaktivgase, z.B. Stickstoff, Sauerstoff und kohlenstoffhaltiges Gas, kann eine Variation der Farbgebung in einem weiten Bereich problemlos erfolgen, wobei dieser Bereich von grau bis h zu tiefschwarz reicht.By varying the proportions of the metals and the reactive gases, e.g. Nitrogen, oxygen and carbon-containing gas can be easily varied in a wide range of colors, which range from gray to h to deep black.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist, daß durch Wahl des Metallgehalts bzw. des Anteils der Metallkomponente während der Schichtabscheidung die Kor- rosionsstabilität der Schicht wesentlich gesteigert werden kann.It is particularly advantageous that the corrosion stability of the layer can be significantly increased by choosing the metal content or the proportion of the metal component during the layer deposition.
Insbesondere gelingt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, eine zu Farbveränderungen führende Nachoxidation an der Atmosphäre im grau-schwarzen Farbbereich zu verhindern und damit sicherzustellen, daß dauerhaft Farbveränderungen oder Farbumschläge vermieden werden können.In particular, it is possible within the scope of the invention to prevent post-oxidation in the atmosphere in the gray-black color range leading to color changes and thus to ensure that permanent color changes or color changes can be avoided.
ERSÄTZBLATT REGEL 26 Diese dauerhafte Farbstabüität wird speziell dadurch noch verbessert, wenn in die Schicht zusätzlich eine weitere Metallkomponente eingebaut wird, die wenig zu Oxidbildungen neigt.REPLACEMENT SHEET RULE 26 This permanent color stability is especially improved if an additional metal component that has little tendency to form oxides is installed in the layer.
So kann beispielsweise ein Einbau von Chrom in Verbindung mit Me- tallcarbonitrid oder Metallcarbonitridoxid zu sehr vorteilhaften Ergebnissen führen, wobei der Chromanteil beispielsweise im Bereich von etwa 5 % liegen kann und die Metallkomponente des die Schicht bildenden Stoffes einen Anteil größer 40 at% aufweisen sollte.For example, incorporation of chromium in conjunction with metal carbonitride or metal carbonitride oxide can lead to very advantageous results, the chromium fraction being in the range of about 5%, for example, and the metal component of the material forming the layer should have a proportion greater than 40 at%.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben und sind auch der nachfolgenden Beschreibung zu entnehmen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims and can also be found in the description below.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 3 wird auf einAccording to a first exemplary embodiment according to FIG
Substrat im Are -Verfahren eine dekorative Hartstoffschicht aufgebracht, und zwar mit einer Dicke größer 1 μm, wobei als Schichtwerkstoff ZrCN eingesetzt wird. Der Anteil von Zr liegt in der Größenordnung von 50 at%. Die Reaktivgassteuerung erfolgt so, daß das entstehende Verhältnis von ZrC zu ZrN in der Schicht im Bereich von 0,2 bis 2,2 % liegt.In the Are process, a decorative hard material layer is applied, with a thickness greater than 1 μm, ZrCN being used as the layer material. The proportion of Zr is of the order of 50 at%. The reactive gas control is carried out in such a way that the resulting ratio of ZrC to ZrN in the layer is in the range from 0.2 to 2.2%.
Gemäß einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel, das auf Figur 4 bezugnimmt, wird analog zum Ausführungsbeispiel 1 vorgegangen, aber zusätzlich wird in die Schicht eine Metallkomponente 2, in diesem Fall Chrom mit einer Konzentration von 1 bis 25 at% durch simultane Beschichtung eingebaut. Auf diese Weise wird die Korrosions Stabilität weiter verbessert.According to a second exemplary embodiment, which refers to FIG. 4, the procedure is analogous to that of exemplary embodiment 1, but in addition a metal component 2, in this case chrome with a concentration of 1 to 25 at%, is incorporated into the layer by simultaneous coating. In this way, the corrosion stability is further improved.
ERSÄTZBLATT REGEL 26 Die dekorative Hartstoffschicht nach der Erfindung Kann als Emzel- schichtsystem, aber auch als Mehrschichtsystem aufgebaut sein Von besonderem Vorteil ist, wenn bei Mehrlagenschichten nach der Abscheidung einzelner Lagen sowohl eine Unterbrechung zur Abkühlung des Substrats als auch ein Ionenbombardement zur Säuberung der jeweils abgeschiedenen Schicht und zur Verankerung der jeweils nachfolgenden Schicht durchgeführt wird Ionen entstehen dabei sowohl durch Metalle als auch durch Gase, die im gesamten Beschichtungsprozeß verwendet werden Bevorzugt wird ein Ionenbombardement dieser Art sowohl beim Start als auch am Ende des gesamten Beschichtungsprozesses durchgeführt Eine deraruge Prozeßfolge ist beispielsweise in Fig 1 angegebenREPLACEMENT SHEET RULE 26 The decorative hard material layer according to the invention can be constructed as an individual layer system, but also as a multilayer system. It is particularly advantageous if, in the case of multilayer layers, after the separation of individual layers, both an interruption to cool the substrate and an ion bombardment to clean the respectively deposited layer and Anchoring of the subsequent layer is carried out. In this case, ions are formed both by metals and by gases which are used in the entire coating process. Ion bombardment of this type is preferably carried out both at the start and at the end of the entire coating process. Such a process sequence is given, for example, in FIG. 1
Zur Durchführung des Beschichtungsverfahrens wird bevorzugt die Are- Technik verwendet, aber die Erfindung ist darauf nicht beschränkt.The Are technique is preferably used to perform the coating process, but the invention is not so limited.
Fig 2 zeigt in schematischer Weise und unter Angabe von Anlagendetaüs eine Beschichtungsanlage der Anmeldeπn mit sechs Kathoden mit der Bezeichnung HTC 1800 Eine Anlage dieser Art eignet sich besonders gut zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, da sie sowohl im Arc- Modus als auch UBM-Modus (unbalanced magnetron-modus) betrieben werden kann.FIG. 2 shows a coating system of the applicants with six cathodes with the designation HTC 1800 in a schematic manner and with details of system details. A system of this type is particularly well suited for carrying out the method according to the invention, since it operates in both arc mode and UBM mode ( unbalanced magnetron mode) can be operated.
