Abstract
Duplex surface treatment of AISI 1045 steel involves nitriding followed by titanium thermo-reactive deposition (TRD) techniques at 900 ℃ for 3 h. The treatment forms a titanium carbonitride coating with a maximum thickness of 8.5 μm. Characterization using a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM–EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the compact and dense coatings mainly consisted of Ti(C0.51N0.21) and Fe0.975Ti0.025 phases. Furthermore, the microhardness and tribological properties of the coating treated at 900 ℃ for 3 h were investigated using microhardness test and wear test. The average hardness value of the pre-nitride coating is 1136 HV0.05 and that of the composite treatment coating is 2166 HV0.05, which are 4.6 and 8.8 times that of the substrate, respectively. Compared with the substrate, the pre-nitriding layer presented a moderate friction coefficient, whereas the samples with pre-nitriding and titanizing duplex-treated layers showed the best wear resistance.
