| Abstract | WB2/CrN multilayer films with thick modulation periods over 50 nm (Lambda = 1400, 315, 235, 150, 55 nm) were synthesized by direct-current magnetron sputtering, and the influence of modulation period on microstructure and mechanical properties for the multilayer films was systematically studied. In WB2/CrN multilayer films, CrN sublayers present the columnar microstructure. As L decreases, the structure of WB2 sublayers evolves from (110) orientation to (001) orientation to amorphous structure, and critical crystalline thickness for WB2 sublayers is over 150 nm here. A transition layer, which shows the columnar crystal with size of 10-11 nm high and 2.5-3.5 nm wide caused by the effect of the crystalline interface of the CrN sublayers, is detected in WB2 sublayers. Additionally, a-BN, WB2, WB2(N), CrN, Cr2N and Cr2O3 phase are formed in the multilayer films. Moreover, film hardness mainly obeys the rule of mixture. The maximum hardness of 31.2 GPa is obtained at Lambda = 315 nm due to crystalline WB2 sublayers with (001) preferred orientation, and amorphous WB2 sublayers greatly reduce the film hardness to only 22.3-24.3 GPa at Lambda < 235 nm. Consequently, the poor hardness leads to the higher wear rates (5.7-7.8 x 10(-7) mm(3)/mN) of multilayer films with Lambda <= 235 nm compared with those (2.9-3.3 x 10(-7) mm(3)/mN) of other films. However, both the fracture toughness and adhesive strength of the films present an increasing trend with decreasing Lambda, resulting from the soft CrN and BN phases and a certain amount of interface. In conclusion, decreasing the critical crystal-thickness of the WB2 sublayers, controlling the N content in WB2 sublayers and getting sharp interfaces will play important roles in developing the higher-performance WB2/CrN multilayer films.
