The role of aluminum nitride (AlN) as a buffer layer on the nucleation and growth of diamond on silicon and steel substrates during hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HF-CVD) has been investigated systematically. The scanning Auger electron microscopy (AES) is employed to study chemistry and content of carbon on the surface and in subsurface regions of AlN as a function of HF-CVD parameters. It is found that AlN offers an excellent diffusion barrier for carbon over a wide range of temperature and hydrocarbon content of CVD gas environment, with simultaneous inhibition of graphitization. It also facilitates nucleation of diamond phase. The surface reactions between AlN and carbon are discussed in terms of hydrogen-assisted phase transformations. We have developed a two-step procedure to obtain a continuous diamond film on steel substrates. The characteristic features of AlN have been exploited to obtain adherent and graphite-free diamond deposits on various types of steels, including low carbon steel, tool steel, high speed steel, and bearing steel.

TiN coatings were deposited on AISI M2 high-speed-steel (HSS) substrates by multi-arc ion plating technique. The thickness of substrate was 1.0 mm and five thicknesses of TiN coatings were 3.0, 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and 11.0 μm, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used for measuring residual stresses. The stresses along five different directions (Ψ=0°, 20.7°, 30°, 37.8° and 45°) have been measured by recording the peak positions of TiN (220) reflection for each 2θ at different tilt angles Ψ. Residual compressive stresses present in the TiN coatings. Furthermore, the results revealed that the value of the residual stresses in TiN coatings was high. While the coatings thickness changed from 3 to 11 μm, the residual stresses varied from -3.22 to -2.04 GPa, the intrinsic stresses -1.32 to -0.14 GPa, the thermal stresses -1.86 to -1.75 GPa. The residual stresses in TiN coatings showed a nonlinear change. When the coatings thickness was about 8 μm, the residual stresses in TiN coatings reached to the maximum value.

As a kind of commonly used tools, junior hacksaw plays an important role in our daily life. A new kind of bimetal band saw taken low carbon medium alloy steel X32 as the backing material and the high-speed steel M42 as the saw tooth material is developed. In this paper, a new method to machine the bimetal band saw with wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is introduced. The processing route for common tooth profile is calculated. The fixture with specific angles is designed with CAD software (proe5.0) and machined with 3D printing technology. The experiments show that bimetal band saw machined with WEDM method has better surface quality compared with that machined through the traditional grinding process. Without any burrs, the new bimetal band saw is more resistant to wear and has a longer service life.

Boron nitride coatings have been deposited onto high-speed steel substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique combined with RF-discharge. In order to improve adhesion and reduce internal stresses, substrates were subjected to gas nitriding. The structure and morphology of coatings were investigated applying atomic force microscopy (AFM) and FTIR spectroscopy. Nanohardness and elastic modulus were examined employing a nanoanalyzer (CETR). On the basis of the conducted experiments, stable, crystalline, multiphase coatings have been obtained. It has been proved that morphology, structure and mechanical properties strongly depend on the parameters of the PLD process; in particular, the temperature of the substrate has a crucial influence on the properties of BN coatings.

Abstract MCH is a medium-carbon, high-molybdenum hot-work steel developed to supplement the medium-carbon, high-tungsten (AISI Type H24) hot-work type of steel. It is a modified high-speed steel that will attain hardness in excess of Rockwell C 60. Because of the careful selection of alloying elements, it will resist wash and abrasion at high operating temperatures. MCH is considerably tougher than either the low-carbon AISI Type M2 steel or the medium-carbon, high tungsten (H24) hot-work steel. MCH should not be water cooled in service. Best hot-work die life is obtained by preheating the dies prior to use. This datasheet provides information on composition, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-471. Producer or source: Latrobe Steel Company.
