Abstract
Micromilling high-speed steel offers high precision in shape and geometry. However, the service life greatly depends on the wear resistance of protective thin films. In comparison to TiAlN, TiAlSiN and TiAlTaN thin films offer enhanced wear resistance for difficult-to-machine materials. Employing a hybrid process that combines direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) and high power pulsed magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) enhances the properties of these films. In cutting tests, it is demonstrated that TiAlSiN and TiAlTaN outperform TiAlN in micromilling of high-speed steel AISI M3:2. Notably, dcMS/HiPIMS-TiAlSiN stands out by having the lowest reduction in cutting forces combined with reduced wear.
