Enhancement of Wear Properties on High Speed Steel Tool Using PVD Coating Technique

Abstract:

Engineering industries are currently using many tool materials such as ceramic,carbide, high speed steel, Cubic Boron nitride and diamond. In most of the small scale industries, the lathe machines are consuming High Speed Steel (HSS) Tool. The HSS tools are easily available and cheapest one. In this present investigation, the Tungsten HSS Single point cutting tool was taken as substrate material. Two substrate HSS Tools were coated with two different combinations of TiAlN composite material using Physical Vapour Deposition coating technique. The surface roughness and hardness were determined for the tools in same condition. The tools were used in lathe machine in same operating condition. The weights of the tools were checked using standard equipment after each machining trials. The loss of tool weight for each trial was determined and the percentage of weight loss was calculated. The life of the Titanium Aluminium Nitride (Ti 70% , Al 25%) coated tool increased by 3.74 times than uncoated tool. The life of the Titanium Aluminium Nitride (Ti 55% , Al 35%) is increased by 2.71 times than uncoated HSS tool.
