Influence of Sputtering Power on Magnetron Sputtering of Tantalum-Chromium Alloy Thin Films
Using dual-target magnetron sputtering technology,tantalum-chromium alloy thin films were prepared on the surface of CrNi3MoVA steel by fixing the DC power of the chromium target and varying the RF power of the tantalum target,the effect of sputtering power on the properties of tantalum-chromium alloy thin films was investigated.Scanning electron microscope/energy spectrometer and X ray diffractometer were used to analyze the deposition rate and phase composition of CrNi3MoVA thin films under different power conditions(80~120 W),and the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the films were tested by nanoindentation instrument and electrochemical workstation.The results showed that with the increase of sputtering power,the content of tan elements in the films increased,and the overall diffraction peak intensity of the films was enhanced.When the sputtering power of the tantalum target was 90 W,the films possessed the highest hardness(16.45 GPa),modulus(238.4 GPa)and better elasticity and plasticity.When the tantalum target power was 120 W,the films had the best corrosion resistance with a corrosion current of 0.99 μA·cm-2.
