The invention belongs to the field of
coating materials, and discloses a TiAlN hard
coating and a preparing method thereof. The method comprises the steps that
polishing ultrasonic cleaning is conducted on a hard
alloy matrix, after blow-
drying and dust removing, the hard
alloy matrix is placed in a film plating
machine cavity, the cavity is heated, the temperature is increased to 400-600 DEG C, the vacuum degree of the cavity is 1-6 x 10 <-3> Pa, cooling is conducted to 300-400 DEG C, and the temperature is kept constant; inflation of Ar gas is conducted, bias pressure is loaded to a workpiece rotating stand, and the surface of the matrix is subjected to glow cleaning; the flow of the Ar gas is adjusted, the air pressure of the cavity is controlled, a Zr target is ignited through the
cathode arc evaporative deposition method, the current of the Zr target and the bias pressure of the workpiece rotating stand are set, and
metal ion etching is conducted on the matrix; an Ar gas valve isclosed, inflation of N2 is conducted, the air pressure of the cavity and the bias pressure of the workpiece rotating stand are adjusted, a Ti50Al50 target is ignited, the current of the Ti50Al50 target is adjusted, and the TiAlN hard
coating is deposited on the surface of the matrix. The TiAlN hard coating has
high heat stability and matrix bonding force.
