摘要:
A thick, adherent and coherent polycrystalline diamond (PCD) coated substrate product is disclosed which comprises either a metallic or ceramic substrate and a plurality of separately deposited PCD layers of substantially uniform microstructure and having high electrical resistivity. The method for depositing multi-layers of PCD film onto the substrate comprises chemically depositing at least two separate polycrystalline diamond layers onto the substrate deposition conditions which are substantially different between cycles. The method enables one to deposit PCD films having a thickness of at least 12 microns for applications on flat as well as curved substrates having wide use in the electronics industry. Thick PCT films of this invention have been found to be ideal for dissipating heat from radio frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) devices.

摘要:
An improved highly erosive and abrasive wear resistant multi-layered coating system on a substrate which provides protection against impact of large particles is disclosed comprising a plurality of composite layers. In each of the composite layers, the first layer closest to the substrate comprises tungsten of sufficient thickness to confer substantial erosion and abrasion wear resistance characteristics to the coating system and a second layer deposited on the first layer comprises a mixture of tungsten and tungsten carbide and the tungsten carbide comprises W.sub.2 C, W.sub.3 C, or a mixture of both. Because the resulting coating system has enhanced high cycle fatigue strength over the substrate, the coating system is especially useful on such structures as turbine blades and similar articles of manufacture where such chemical vapor depositing the first and second layers at a temperature in the range of about 300.degree. to about 550.degree. C. and then repeating the chemical vapor deposition steps to achieve the multi-layered coating system such that the overall thickness of the system is at least about 20 .mu.m.

The method for producing the disclosed material comprises chemical vapor depositing on the substrate a substantially columnar, intermediate layer of tungsten and chemical vapor depositing on the intermediate layer a non-columnar, substantially lamellar outer layer of a mixture of tungsten and tungsten carbide. The tungsten carbide comprises W.sub.2 C, W.sub.3 C, or a mixture of both wherein the ratio of the thickness of the tungsten intermediate layer to the thickness of the outer layer is at least: (a) 0.35 in the case of tungsten plus W.sub.2 C in the outer layer, (b) 0.6 in the case of a mixture of tungsten and W.sub.3 C in the outer layer and (c) 0.35 in the case of mixtures of tungsten and W.sub.2 C and W.sub.3 C in the outer layer. The chemical vapor deposition steps are carried out at pressures within the range of 1 Torr to 1,000 Torr and temperatures within the range of about 300.degree. to about 650.degree. C.

A method is described for improving the erosion and abrasion resistance of a sharp edged metal structure. A base layer of a noble metal is formed on the surface of the body of the structure followed by a chemical vapor deposited outer coating comprising a mixture of tungsten and tungsten carbide. The tungsten carbide is selected from the group consisting of W.sub.2 C, W.sub.3 C, and mixtures thereof and is fine grained, non-columnar and having a substantially layered microstructure. Also described is a sharp edged metal structure formed by the method.
摘要:
A highly erosive and abrasive wear resistant composite coating system is described in which an intermediate layer of substantially pure tungsten is deposited on a substrate. An outer layer is then deposited comprised of a mixture of tungsten and tungsten carbide, with the tungsten carbide consisting of W.sub.2 C, W.sub.3 C or a mixture of both. The thickness of the intermediate layer is sufficient to confer substantial erosive and abrasive wear resistance characteristics on the composite coating system. The ratio of the thickness of the intermediate layer to the thickness of the outer layer is controlled and is at least above 0.30 in the cases of W+W.sub.3 C, W+W.sub.2 C+W.sub.3 C and W+W.sub.2 C coatings.

摘要:
An improved hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) reactor is disclosed comprising a gas dispersion system, a filament network and an apertured support plate for the substrate. The apertures in the support plate provide for counteracting the natural pressure and temperature gradients which arise within the reactor so that a uniform deposit or material can be coated over the entire surface of multiple small pieces simultaneously. Specifically, the apertured support plate substantially reduces the extent of radial (stagnation point) gas flow adjacent to the substrate which significantly improves coating uniformity.
