Abstract
A review of recent results obtained in the field of cutting tools improved with a TiN physical vapor deposition (PVD) ion-plated hard coating is presented. Optimization of the tool material, tool surface morphology and interface problems between the TiN coating and the tool surface are discussed in view of their importance in optimum performance tests and the resulting workplace surface quality. The high effectiveness of the TiN PVD coating is demonstrated by selected data from our own data bank and from other sources on six groups of cutting tools, made of high-speed steels (HSS), powder metallurgical high-speed steels (PM-HSS) and of WC based hard metals. We also describe recently introduced, novel hard coatings (TiCN and TiAIN) for cutting tools, and new applications of cutting tools, improved by PVD hard coatings.Keywords
