Abstract:
Oxidation behavior of nanocomposite films is very important characteristics for application of machining and cutting tools. In this study, Ti-Al-Si-N-O nanocomposite films were fabricated onto WC-Co and Si wafer substrates. The composition of the Ti-Al-Si-N-O films was analyzed by X-ray photo-electron spectroscope (XPS). Also X-ray diffactometer (XRD) analysis was conducted to investigate the crystallinity and phase transformation of the films. As a result of XRD, Ti-Al(18 at.%)-Si-N-O films showed the great oxidation resistance of 950 °C for 30 min in air. Based on glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) depth profiles, Ti-Al(18 at.%)- Si-N-O film annealed at 950 °C for 30 min shows formation of aluminum oxide layer on the film surface. On the other hand, Ti-Al(7.56 at.%)-Si-N-O film had a titanium oxide layer on the surface after annealing at 950 °C for 30 min.
