Abstract

The present work investigates the performance of TiAlSiVN coating with 5 and 11 at% of V concentration deposited on the Al2O3/SiC cutting tools during dry turning of austenitic 316 L stainless steel. The maximum flank wear reduction compared to the uncoated tool for coated tools with 11% and 5% V concentration was 85% and 67%, respectively. The Raman analysis indicated the formation of V2O5 in the cutting zone, which helps to reduce friction and machining forces for the coated tools. Overall, the presence of higher V content (11 at%) enhances the self-lubrication behaviour of the TiAlSiVN coating, accounting to lower fluctuations in cutting forces, superior surface finish, and lower flank wear when compared to the TiAlSiV5N coated and uncoated cutting tools.
