Abstract

A cemented carbide end mill was coated with AlCrTiSiN film by cathodic arc physical vapor deposition methods (CAPVD). A performance of AlCrTiSiN film for increasing tool life was evaluated by scratch test, cutting test and oxidation test in comparison with uncoated end mill. From the scratch test, the AlCrTiSiN film was helpful to resist crack and delamination of coating. From the cutting test, the maximum flank wear of AlCrTiSiN film was about two times higher than that of the uncoated end mill resulting in tool life extension. From the oxidation test, the first oxide of AlCrTiSiN film generated after service life was a titanium dioxide (TiO2) at a temperature of 900oC. From all of results, it revealed that the AlCrTiSiN film significantly enhanced the tool life of the cemented carbide end mill.
