Alternate cycles 10~20 times, total time is 150~180min, completes Nb layers with the NbN layers of deposition on matrix.
NbN films are influenceed by metal Nb compact structures, and compared with the film such as TiN, CrN, film surface is more smooth
Densification, particle is smaller, it is possible to prevente effectively from corrosive medium enters inside film, so as to improve the decay resistance of film.
The content of Nb and N is controlled, Nb metallic voids can be reduced, corrosion resistance can be improved, Nb layers can have preferably
Electric conductivity.The appropriate deposition number of plies, disclosure satisfy that the requirement of corrosion resistance.
The present invention has advantages below compared to existing technology:The present invention uses Nb/NbN plural layers, and nearly base layer is gold
Nb layers of category, can be with matrix good combination, it is ensured that film and the good adhesion of matrix;Film multi-layer structures effectively hinder
The path that corrosive medium enters inside film, and film mainly constitutes phase NbN, Nb2N and Nb phases are corrosion-resistant phase, improve
The decay resistance of film;The electric conductivity of film is improve using the electric conductivity of metal Nb, according to process conditions prepare it is many
Layer film, it is to avoid because the number of plies excessively makes the increased influence of bulk resistance, it is ensured that film conductivity is unaffected;Using many
Arc ion plating technique deposits plural layers, improves operating efficiency, simple for process, is conducive to large-scale industrial production.
