posted on 2018-05-23, 14:20 authored by Firas M.H. AbbasIn collaboration with Edgar Allen Tools, Sheffield, a detailed study
has been made of the effect of various process parameters on titanium
nitride (TiN) coatings chemically vapour deposited on powder
metallurgy (PM) BT42 grade high speed steel (HSS) indexable cutting
tool inserts.
Initially, the characteristics of a TiN coating chemically vapour
deposited on the HSS inserts in the Plansee reactor at Edgar Allen
Tools, under the standard conditions employed by them, were determined
in order to provide a logical starting point for the present study.
This was clone using various techniques: X-ray diffraction, Auger
electron spectroscopy, optical microscopy, fractography, scanning
electron micrscopy, profilometry, micro-hardness testing and scratch-adhesion
testing. Whilst sane of the characteristics of this TiN
coating were found to be comparable to those of similar coatings
presented in the literature, there was clearly scope for improvement. [Continues.]
