Properties of TiAlCrN coatings prepared by vacuum cathodic arc ion plating

TiAlCrN coatings were deposited by means of vacuum cathodic arc ion plating technique on TC11 (Ti-6.5 Al-3.5 Mo-1.5 Zr-0.3Si) titanium alloy substrates. The composition, phase structure, mechanical performance, and oxidation-resistance of the nitride coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). A new process for preparing protective coatings of the titanium alloy is successfully acquired. The experimental results indicate that the added element chromium in the TiAlN coatings make a contribution to form the (220) preferred direction. The phases of the coatings are composed of (Ti, Al)N and (Ti, Cr)N. After 700℃ and 800℃ oxidation, AES analysis shows that the diffusion distribution of the TiAlCrN coatings emerges a step shape. From the outside to the inner, the concentrations of O, Al, and Cr reduce, but those of Ti and N increase. The Al-rich oxide is formed on the surface of the coatings, and the mixed structure of Ti-rich and Cr-rich oxides is formed in the internal layer. The oxidation resistance of the TiAlCrN coatings is excellent at the range of 700 to 800℃. Adhesion wear is the dominant mechanical characteristic for the titanium alloy at room temperature, and the protective coatings with high hardness can improve the mechanical properties of the titanium alloy. The wear resistance of the TC11 alloy is considerably improved by the TiAlCrN coatings.     

Design and performance of AlTiN and TiAlCrN PVD coatings for machining of hard to cut materials

Machining of hard to cut materials such as hardened steels and high temperature strong aerospace materials is a challenge of modern manufacturing. Two categories of the aluminum-rich TiAlN-based Physical Vapor Deposited (PVD) coatings, namely AlTiN and TiAlCrN, are commonly used for this area of application. A comparative investigation of the structural characteristics, various micro-mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and service properties of the both coatings has been performed.Crystal structure has been studied using High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR TEM). Electronic structure has been investigated using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Micro-mechanical properties (microhardness, plasticity index, impact fatigue fracture resistance) have been evaluated using a Micro Materials Nano-Test System. Short-term oxidation resistance has been studied at 900 °C in air. The tool life of the coating was studied during ball nose end milling of hardened H 13 tool steel as well as end milling of aerospace alloys such as Ni-based superalloy (Waspalloy) and Ti alloy (TiAl₆V₄).It was shown that the set of characteristics that control wear performance strongly depend on specific applications. For machining of hardened tool steels, when heavy loads/high temperatures control wear behavior, the coating has to possess a well-known combination of high hot hardness and improved oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures. To achieve these properties, crystal structure for TiAlN-based coatings should be mainly B1, and elemental composition of the coating should ensure formation of strong inter-atomic bonds such as Al-Cr metal-covalent bonds in the TiAlCrN coating. Nano-crystalline structure with grain size of around 10-30 nm enhances necessary properties of the coating.In contrast, for machining of aerospace alloys, when elevated load/temperature combined with intensive adhesive interaction with workpiece material results in unstable attrition wear with deep surface damage, the coating should possess a different set of characteristics. Crystal structure for TiAlN-based coatings is basically B1; but due to a high amount of aluminum, the AlTiN coating contains AlN domains. The coating has a very fine-grained nano-crystalline structure (grains sized around 5 nm). Electron structure of energy levels indicates formation of metallic bonds. This results in plasticity increase at the cost of hot hardness reduction. The surface is able to dissipate energy by means of plastic deformation (instead of crack formation) and in this way, surface damage is reduced.     

Wear behavior of adaptive nano-multilayered TiAlCrN/NbN coatings under dry high performance machining conditions

Application of quaternary nitride nano-multilayered coatings results in significant improvements in tool life as well as wear behavior of ball nose end mills under severe conditions of dry high speed machining of hardened H13 steel (HRC 55-57). Tool life of different nano-multilayered TiAlCrN-based coatings with addition of transitional metals based (of V and VI groups) nitride layers has been compared. Tool life of TiAlCrN/NbN coating was found to be higher than compared to the other nano-multilayered coatings. Investigation of surface structure characteristics of the TiAlCrN/NbN coating using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS) has been performed. The properties of the coatings such as microhardness, modulus of elasticity, coefficient of friction and oxidation stability at elevated temperatures were also studied. Cutting forces at the tool/workpiece interface have been measured in-situ. Temperatures on the surface of cutting tools were evaluated. The features of friction and wear behavior as well as mechanisms of tribo-adaptation of TiAlCrN/NbN nano-multilayered coatings were outlined.     

Investigation of wear behavior and chip formation for cutting tools with nano-multilayered TiAlCrN/NbN PVD coating

A comprehensive investigation of the wear progress and chip formation was performed on an ultra-fine-grained cemented carbide ball nose end mill coated with a novel nano-multilayered TiAlCrN/NbN coating, by dry machining-hardened steel AISI H13 (HRC 55–57) at a cutting speed of 300 m/min. Flank wear and cutting forces were measured as the wear progressed; chip temperatures were estimated. The surface morphology of the tools were studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis techniques. Results showed that protective oxide films (Al–O, Cr–O and Nb–O) were formed during cutting. With the combination of the protective oxide films and the fine-grain tough substrate, the tool wear rate was greatly reduced compared to the other coatings tested. Continuous and saw-tooth chips were identified, corresponding to a new sharp tool and a worn tool, respectively. The mechanisms of saw-tooth chip formation were found to be a combination of “crack theory” and “adiabatic shear theory”. The characteristics of the chips were studied in detail with the results showing that during formation the chips underwent a combined effect of strain hardening and thermal softening, followed by a quenching phenomenon.     

Structures and properties of TiAlCrN coatings deposited on Ti(C,N)-based cermets with various WC contents

In this paper, the Ti(C,N)-based cermets with various WC contents were used as the substrates of TiAlCrN coatings. The influence of WC addition on the structures and properties of the coatings was investigated. Besides, cutting tests on the coated cermet inserts were conducted under different conditions. The results indicated that the cermet substrates with finer grains provided more nucleation to the coatings. The grain size of the coating decreased with increasing WC contents in the substrate. W diffused from the substrates to coatings, which deteriorated the adhesion between TiAlCrN coatings and the cermet substrates. The coated cermet inserts presented better cutting performance, when WC was added to the substrates. However, the cutting performance of the coated cermet inserts was weaken when the addition of WC was more than 10 wt%.
