ABSTRACTTransition metal nitride-based, wear-resistant hard coatings on cutting tools and other substrates often lack distinct colorations allowing product differentiation and self-lubricating properties. In the present work, the possibility of achieving these objectives for sputtered coatings based on the purple-red Al2Au phase within the Al-Au system was investigated. Coatings were characterized with respect to morphology, chemical and phase composition, hardness, optical, oxidation and tribological properties. Al2Au-containing coatings were deposited with dense, fine-grained structures yielding a hardness of 4 GPa and pink coloration. The coatings were stable up to about 850°C, where the onset of oxidation occurs. Low friction coefficients against alumina were achieved between 500 and 700°C. The concept of applying Al2Au-containing coatings as a colored self-lubricating layer on top of a hard coated cemented carbide tool warrants further investigations.

Multi-functional quinary Cr–Al–Ti–Si–N thin films were deposited onto WC-Co substrates using a cathodic arc evaporation system. In this study, the influence of silicon contents on the microstructure, mechanical, tribological, and oxidation properties of Cr–Al–Ti–Si–N thin films were systematically investigated and correlated for application of cutting tools. Based on results from various analyses, the Cr–Al–Ti–Si–N films showed excellent properties including mechanical, tribological, oxidation and adhesion values compared with those of the Cr–Al–Ti–N film. The Cr–Al–Ti–Si–N films with a Si content of around 4.21 at.% exhibited the highest hardness of 45 GPa, very low friction coefficient of 0.38 at room temperature against an Inconel alloy ball and superior adhesion property (105 N). The Cr–Al–Ti–Si–N films also showed excellent oxidation resistance after annealing in the ambient air at 1000 °C. Therefore, the Cr–Al–Ti–Si(4.21 at.%)–N films could be help to improve the performance of machining and cutting tools with application of the films.

Surface texturing has become a potential method to obtain a low friction coefficient under dry/lubricated conditions for different mechanical product surfaces. The mechanism of friction and wear reduction from a micro-texture on the surface of cemented carbide cutting tools was investigated by dry cutting a titanium alloy. Three kinds of micro-textures, namely, line, sinusoidal and rhombic grooves, with different area occupancy rates were produced by a laser on the cemented carbide surface. Experiments and finite element simulation of ABAQUS were used to investigate the tribological characteristics of micro-textured cemented carbide. The results indicated that the line-textured cemented carbide with an area occupancy rate of 10% showed a low friction coefficient of 0.076, which is approximately 34% of the non-textured sample. Few adhesives appeared on the textured surface, while a large number of adhesives were attached to the smooth surface after 30 min of dry friction between the cemented carbide and the titanium alloy balls. Moreover, among the three textures, the line-groove texture has the smallest friction coefficient and a good anti-wear effect. The results show that the existence of a groove texture can effectively reserve the wear debris, reduce the bond wear and weaken the furrow effect.

AbstractCutting with TiAlN or CrAlN tip PVD-coated tungsten carbide-based inserts manufactured by powder metallurgy, we found no significant difference in the wear behavior of inserts regardless of whether the insert was used in wet or dry conditions. We determined the adhesion properties of the coating layers with a scratch test and by Daimler–Benz test. On the tungsten-based carbide cutting tool, the thinner TiAlN coating showed slightly better adhesion than the thicker CrAlN coating.
