Abstract

Titanium nitride (TiN) film for the bearings and seals used in rotating machinery has been developed by the dynamic-ion-beam-mixing (DM) process, which combines Ti vapor deposition with simultaneous nitrogen ion beam irradiation. In this study, the tribological properties of the DM-TiN film on martensitic stainless steel (SS) were investigated for application on the bearings of submerged pumps. The critical contact pressure for seizure, wear resistance and friction coefficient properties of DM-TiN film paired with cast iron were investigated under practical sliding conditions, and compared with the hard surface materials of nitriding AISI 420 SS and nitriding 41CrAlMo74 (CrAlMo) steel. The results show that DM-TiN film is superior to these nitriding steels in surface contact pressure for seizure and wear resistance.
