Journal ArticleDOI
Hard AlTiN, AlCrN PVD coatings for machining of austenitic stainless steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface texture before and after post-deposition treatment was analyzed by means of the Abbot-firestone ratio curves, which showed that the nc-AlTiN-based coatings have high oxidation resistances due to formation of aluminum oxide surface layers, which can result in enhancement of frictional characteristics at the tool/workpiece interface and chip evacuation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of mechanical properties measured at room and elevated temperatures on the wear resistance of cutting tools with TiAlN and AlCrN coatings
German S. Fox-Rabinovich,Ben D. Beake,Jose L. Endrino,Stephen C. Veldhuis,R. Parkinson,L.S. Shuster,M.S. Migranov +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of the mechanical properties of TiAlN and AlCrN coated cutting tools has been performed at room and elevated temperatures (up to 500 °C) using Micro Material's NanoTest Platform System.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and performance of AlTiN and TiAlCrN PVD coatings for machining of hard to cut materials
German S. Fox-Rabinovich,A.I. Kovalev,Myriam H. Aguirre,Ben D. Beake,Kaoru Yamamoto,Stephen C. Veldhuis,Jose L. Endrino,Dmitry Wainstein,A. Rashkovskiy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis of the structural characteristics, various micro-mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and service properties of the aluminum-rich TiAlN-based PVD coatings has been performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical adaptive nanostructured PVD coatings for extreme tribological applications: the quest for nonequilibrium states and emergent behavior
German S. Fox-Rabinovich,Kenji Yamamoto,Ben D. Beake,Iosif S. Gershman,Anatoly Kovalev,Stephen C. Veldhuis,Myriam H. Aguirre,G.K. Dosbaeva,Jose L. Endrino +8 more
TL;DR: Major physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the adaptive coating, which play a significant role in its operating properties, such as enhanced mass transfer, and the ability of the layer to provide dissipation and accumulation of frictional energy during operation are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tribological adaptability of TiAlCrN PVD coatings under high performance dry machining conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of ternary nitride (Ti,Cr,Al)N coatings on the tool life of end milling cutting tools under severe conditions associated with the high speed dry machining of H13 steel.
