Coating optimisation for high speed machining with advanced nanomechanical test methods
Abstract
Advanced nanomechanical testing has been used to evaluate key factors influencing tool life (1) a plasticity index (PI, the plastic work done/total work done during indentation), at room and elevated temperature (2) hot hardness and (3) fatigue fracture resistance, and determine their relative importance in different cutting applications. The optimum combination of hardness and toughness/plasticity to minimise wear and extend the life of coated …
