Thin hard coatings are widely known as key elements in many industrial fields, from equipment for metal machining to dental implants and orthopedic prosthesis. When it comes to machining and cutting tools, thin hard coatings are crucial for decreasing the coefficient of friction (COF) and for protecting tools against oxidation. The aim of this work was to evaluate the tribological performance of two commercially available thin hard coatings deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) on a high speed tool steel (S600) under extreme working conditions. For this purpose, pin-on-disc wear tests were carried out either at room temperature (293 K) or at high temperature (873 K) against alumina (Al2O3) balls. Two thin hard nitrogen-rich coatings were considered: a multilayer AlTiCrN and a superlattice (nanolayered) CrN/NbN. The surface and microstructure characterization were performed by optical profilometry, field-emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

In the present study, the effect of various N 2 gas flow rates on friction coefficient and surface roughness of TiN -coated D2 tool steel was examined by a commercially available cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) technique. A Pin-on-Disc test was carried out to study the Coefficient of friction (COF) versus sliding distance. A surface roughness tester measured the surface roughness parameters. The minimum values for the COF and surface roughness were recorded at a N 2 gas flow rate of 200 sccm. The increase in the COF and surface roughness at a N 2 gas flow rate of 100 sccm was mainly attributed to an increase in both size and number of titanium particles, whereas the increase at 300 sccm was attributed to a larger number of growth defects generated during the coating process. These ideas make it possible to optimize the coating properties as a function of N 2 gas flow rate for specific applications, e.g. cutting tools for automobiles, aircraft, and various mechanical parts.

Cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) a technique used for the deposition of hard coatings for tooling applications has many advantages. The main drawback of this technique is the formation of macrodroplets (MDs) during deposition resulting in films with rougher morphology. The MDs contamination and growth mechanisms was investigated in TiN coatings over high-speed steel, as a function of metal ion etching, substrate bias, and nitrogen gas flow rate; it was observed that the latter is the most important factor in controlling the size and number of the macrodroplets.

Mediante la técnica de deposición física fase vapor (PVD) usando el método por magnetrón sputtering, se logró el recubrimiento en forma de monocapas de nitruro de vanadio sobre herramientas de acero rápido ASSAB 17® usados para el mecanizado por arranque de viruta en probetas de acero UNS G1020 para operaciones de cilindrado. Se realizaron cambios progresivos en los parámetros de corte tomando datos de temperatura sobre la herramienta, la probeta y el material removido para su posterior análisis y comparación con los datos obtenidos del mismo proceso realizado con herramientas sin ningún recubrimiento. Subsiguientemente se hizo la caracterización morfológica del recubrimiento mediante microscopio electrónico de barrido a las herramientas de corte. Se cuantificó la rugosidad de cada pobreta, característica fundamental para observar el aumento de la vida útil de la herramienta de corte y la reducción en los tiempos y costos de producción. Los resultados fueron contundentes, justificados en el incremento del desempeño en el arranque de material, mejor transferencia energética en el corte superior acabado superficial en las probetas.Palabras clave: Herramienta, mecanizado, vida útil.AbstractUsing the physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique with magnetron sputtering, we achieved monolayer-coating with vanadium nitride on ASSAB 17TM high speed steel tools used for machining UNS G1020 steal probes in turning operations by chip removal. We performed progressive changes in the cutting parameters, recording data related to temperature of the cutting tool, the graduated cylinder and the removed material for later analysis and comparison with similar data from the process performed with non-coated tools. Subsequently the morphologic characterization of the coating was carried out using scan electron microscope on the cutting tools. Graduate cylinder roughness was quantified to observe the lifetime extension and reduction of production cost reduction derived from the use of coated tools. The results were conclusive, justified in the increased performance in material removal, enhanced energetic transfer during cut and improved surface finished in the probes.Keywords: tool, machining; useful life.

The method of using wear maps in assessing tool wear over a range of cutting conditions was presented by Lim et al. in 1993 for turning steel using high-speed steel (HSS) tools. Since then this approach has rarely been studied or critically reviewed. The use of reliable wear maps can aid in assessing the wear rate and wear mechanism of cutting tools over a feed rate to cutting velocity plane. The focus of this paper is on improving the integrity of such wear maps. Unified cutting tests were undertaken to explore the effect of two different grades of carbide tooling on wear performance within a range of recommended cutting conditions. The methodology for developing such maps, as well as the underlying assumptions, was critically reviewed in light of two new wear maps created for different carbide grades. Additionally, by utilising energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and wear patterns, the paper presents new evidence in support of mechanisms responsible for the safety zone. Understanding the wear mechanisms in the low tool wear zone is important for developing extended life tooling.

Der Schneidstoff HSS (high-speed steel) ist neben den Hartmetallen industriell hoch relevant. Optimierungen der Werkzeuge erfolgten in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten fast ausschließlich im Bereich des Hartmetalls und anderer hochharter Schneidstoffe. Eine angepasste Mikrogeometrie in Kombination mit multifunktionellen Schichten ermöglicht auch für Hochleistungsschnellarbeitsstahl eine deutliche Steigerung der Produktivität und somit der Ressourceneffizienz.   Apart from tungsten carbide, the tool material high-speed steel (HSS) is widely used in industry, although optimizations of cutting tools have been carried out almost exclusively for tungsten carbide and other superhard tool materials in the last two decades. However, by optimizing the micro-geometry in combination with innovative multi-functional hard-coatings, high-speed steel tools also lead to a significant increase in productivity and resource efficiency.
