Wear performance of different PVD coatings during hard wet end milling of H13 tool steel
Abstract
Wear performance of end mill tools with different PVD coatings has been studied under the condition of hard wet machining of H13 tool steel. It was shown that tool life of the coated tools could be improved by around 100% due to the application of AlCrN–TiAlN bilayer as compared to AlTiN monolayer PVD coating. Failure mechanisms of the coated tools were evaluated by SEM. The micro-mechanical characteristics of the coated tools were studied. It …
