Abstract

A hexacarbonyl of chromium and molybdenum [(Cr, Mo) (CO)6] was used as an oxycarbide source for the coating on stainless steel 304 (SS304) at temperatures from 175 °C to 450 °C. Hardness of the films was determined from a microindentation technique through a similar calculation after Thomas (1987). Intrinsic hardnesses of the films formed at low and medium temperatures were determined to be 8.61 and 2.75 GPa, respectively. Both of them are larger than that of SS304 substrate, 1.75 GPa. Adhesive strength of the films was measured by the scratching test. The results reveal that the adhesive strengths of the films formed at low, medium, and high temperatures are 2.8 N, 37.6 N, and 36.0 N, respectively. Two different fracture modes after scratching were found for the films obtained at various temperature regions. A spalling-off type or a deformation failure with many cracks and deformation bands beside the striation was found.
