This study investigated the effect of boron-doped and undoped diamond coatings on the cutting performance of cobalt cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) drills when drilling CFRP. Three types of diamond coating, as boron-doped microcrystalline (B-MCD), boron-doped nanocrystalline (B-NCD), and undoped nanocrystalline (NCD), were deposited on specially designed for drilling of CFRP one-shot drills by the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. The coating characteristics, such as surface morphology, roughness, carbon structure, and interfacial adhesion, were investigated. Then cutting tests were carried out, and the tool’s flank wear, thrust force, and torque were evaluated. For comparison of cutting performance, non-coated WC-Co drills were used in the tests as well. Furthermore, drilled holes were inspected in terms of peel-up and push-out delamination. According to the results, the B-MCD coated drill presented advantages in tool life, and quality of drilled holes over the NCD and B-NCD coated drills. Also, the results confirmed the adhesion enhanced effect of diamond coating to WC-Co substrate through boron doping of the layer.

Multi-layer alternating nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layer and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) layer was successfully deposited on pretreated tungsten carbide (WC) substrates with various seeding sizes (<0.1μm synthetic, <0.5μm synthetic, <0.25μm natural, <0.5μm natural, and <1μm natural) diamond with and without hammering by silicon carbide. X-rays penetrate through the coating to the substrate from XRD method was able to show strong peaks of diamond relative to WC despite the diamond film being 4μm thick only. It is found that substrates with no hammering produce stronger signals. The coating was cross sectioned and analysed using field emission scanning electron microscopy showing the multi-layer with NCD grains that has coalesced and columnar structure for PCD. None of the diamond coating delaminated during cross sectioning showing good adhesion. Raman was able to capture data from the 1-1.6μm thick NCD layer only while AFM measured the extreme low roughness of the NCD surface.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is difficult to machine because of the extremely abrasive nature of the carbon fibers and its low thermal conductivity. CVD diamond films have many excellent properties such as wonderful wear resistance, high thermal conductivity and low friction coefficient, therefore depositing diamond films on the surface of drills is thought to be an effective way to elongate the lifetime of drills and improve the cutting performance. In this study, diamond films are deposited on the WC-Co drill using hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. The results of characterization by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectrum indicate that the fabricated CVD diamond coated drill is covered with a layer of uniform and high-purity diamond films. The cutting performance of as-fabricated CVD diamond coated drill is evaluated in dry drilling CFRP, comparing with the uncoated WC-Co drill. The results demonstrate that the CVD diamond coated drill exhibits much stronger wear resistance. Its flank wear is about 50μm after drilling 30 holes, about one-third of that of WC-Co drill. Machining quality of the exit and internal wall of drilled holes shows better surface finish obtained by coated drill, which suggests that CVD diamond coated tool has great advantages in drilling CFRP.

The adhesion of wear-resistant diamond coating deposited on titanium was weakened by the porous titanium carbide interlayer, which was formed before film growth. In order to enhance substrate-coating adherence, a new pretreatment method was presented: Ti substrates were carbonized by hot filament chemical vapor deposition system, and then the carbonized substrates were ultrasonically vibrated using diamond micro-powder suspension. Diamond coatings were deposited by hot filament chemical vapor deposition as well. The effect of carbonization time on adhesion was investigated. The carbonized substrates and the interface between diamond coatings and substrates were characterized. The results showed that as the carbonization time increases, porous structures and cracks appear and increase on the surface of the substrate. The carbonized substrates possess high surface energy and thus the nucleation is promoted. After deposition, a dense and thin titanium carbide was observed. Ultrasonic after carbonization pretreatment can significantly enhance the adhesion of Ti-based diamond coatings by promoting nucleation and suppressing the formation of porous titanium carbide.

In the present investigation, diamond coating was deposited on fine grinding cemented carbide substrate by direct current arc discharge chemical vapor deposition. The effect of electrolytic etching time in the two-step electrochemical pretreatment process (firstly using electrolytic etching, and then using acid etching) on morphology and quality of the diamond coating were systemically studied. The surface morphology feature and quality of diamond coatings were characterized by means of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), laser Raman spectrometer respectively. The results showed that the electrolytic etching duration has distinctly effect on the quality and crystal features such as morphology, crystal type and grain size of diamond coating. It showed that as electrolytic current is direct current 3A, electrolytic etching time altering from 0.5 min to 7.5min, the surface morphology of diamond films gradually transition from microcrystalline cubic-octahedron to cauliflower type nanocluster, and further increase the electrolytic etching time, will lead to several negative effects on the quality and nucleation of the coatings which is not only retard the diamond nucleation, but also promote the formation of graphite.

The diamond coatings were prepared by hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) on the mono-crystalline silicon substrates. The influence of the technical parameters such as methane volume ratio, substrate temperature and reaction pressure on the residual stress in the diamond coating was studied. The results showed that the residual stress in the coating was compressive stress in the range of parameters studied, and too high or too low substrate temperature, chamber pressure and methane volume ratio would all increase the residual compressive stress. This relationship can be explained by the influence of amorphous carbon content, vacancy density and grain size on the residual stress.

Microcrystalline diamond (MCD) and fine-grained diamond (FGD) films are deposited on silicon nitride (Si3N4) inserts using the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X –ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrum are employed to characterize these as-deposited diamond films. Cutting performance of as-fabricated CVD diamond coated Si3N4 inserts is examined in dry turning glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) material, comparing with the uncoated Si3N4 inserts. The results indicate that the tool failure is mainly attributed to its severe flank wear, which is caused by continuous friction and impact brought by many hard SiO2 particles distributed in the GFPR work piece. The lifetime of Si3N4 inserts can be prolonged by depositing MCD or FGD films on them and the FGD coated insert shows better wear resistance than the MCD coated one.

Diamond coating has gained intensive attraction in the tribological field due to its high hardness. However, its weak flexibility always gives rise to the fragile crack, which causes the delamination and peeling off from substrate. In this work, a novel deposition method combining the conventional hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) and particles doping technique is proposed to balance the hardness and flexibility of diamond coating, by which the diamond coating with tungsten particles is deposited on the co-cemented tungsten carbide substrate. The as-deposited diamond coating is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, surface roughness and Raman spectrum. The indentation tests are conducted to evaluate the crack propagation of diamond coating. Tribological behavior is examined on a reciprocating ball-on-plate tribometer. The results indicate that tungsten carbide may be formed between tungsten particles and diamond coating. The W–WC–amorphous carbon–diamond structural coating can validly inhibit the crack propagation and decrease the friction coefficient. Hence, adding embedding particles into the diamond coating may provide a useful way in enhancing the mechanical properties of diamond coating.
