Cobalt Interlayed TiN-coated Tungsten Carbide Cutting Tool’s Performance Ⅱ

1.Introduction
Hard coatings such as TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, etc. have been applied industrially under wide circumstance for improving mechanical properties and lifetime of tools, dies, and mechanical parts. One of the most important parameters of such hard coatings is the adhesion between coating layer and substrate , because various kinds of loads including cyclic, mechanical, and thermal loads are considerably applied to the coated wares in actual use. In order to improve adhesion, various methods such as pre-treatment s of substrate, adoption of interlayer, multi- layers or functionally graded layers were studied. As a suitable method for improvement of the adhesion between steel substrate s and Ti-based coatings, Ti interlayers have been shown to lead to substantial increase in the adhesion strength . The origin of improved adhesion has reported that Ti interlayer is to have a strong affinity to oxide layers remaining on the surface of the substrate as well as to relieve shear stresses in the interface. Although interlayers of Ti, Ta, W, Mo, and Si were developed and reported in senses of materials engineering , their cutting performance was scarcely reported. In relation to Co interlayer and post-annealing, their impact on the cutting performance for end-mill coated tool has not been verified for the reliability of tool wear distribution. The most common distributions for analyzing the reliability of mechanical systems are the exponential, log-normal, and Weibull distributions.
 
In this study, the adhesion behavior of the adhesion behavior of TiN coatings on cutting tools of WC-Co by hybrid coating method was studied with Co interlayer and post- annealings on cutting tools of WC-Co by hybrid coating method was studied with Co interlayer and post- annealing. The adhesion strength, failure behavior, and Co diffusion from substrate were comparatively investigated related to interlayer thickness and heat treatment. Cutting tests against AISI D2 cold- worked die steel and their reliability tests were studied. To verify the goodness of fit for tool wear distribution, normal distribution and log-normal distribution by chi-squared test were considered.

Atomic Layer Deposition of Tungsten Using Sequential Surface Chemistry with A Sacrificial Stripping Reaction

Tungsten (W) films were grown with atomic layer control using a novel sequence of self-limiting surface reactions. The tungsten film growth was achieved by dividing the binary reaction WF6+Si2H6→W+2SiHF3+2H2 into two separate half-reactions. Alternating exposures to WF6 and Si2H6 in an ABAB… sequence produced tungsten deposition at temperatures between 425 and 600 K. The Si2H6 reactant served only a sacrificial role to strip fluorine from tungsten without incorporating into the film. FTIR spectroscopic investigations demonstrated that the WF6 and Si2H6 half-reactions were complete and self-limiting at T>400 K. In situ spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements determined a tungsten growth rate of 2.5 Å/AB cycle with WF6 and Si2H6 reactant exposures sufficient for complete half-reactions. The surface topography of the deposited tungsten films was flat indicating smooth film growth. The tungsten films were either amorphous or composed of very small crystalline grains and contained no measurable silicon or fluorine. These results represent the first demonstration of atomic layer deposition of smooth single-element metal films using sequential surface chemistry.

The table shows that the hardness will decrease by the increasing Co content, while its toughness and bending strength is enhancing. In addition, fine grain has higher density and hardness than coarse grain and other properties are also improving after sintering.

Tungsten Carbide Ball Process

Tungsten carbide ball has high hardness and usually above 87 HRA, which is double than normal steel ball so that the process is also difficult. The main problem is that the low surface energy of tungsten carbide ball, grinding media and abrasive adhesion is poor. Therefore, it has a huge influence on the efficiency and the accuracy or the surface roughness of tungsten carbide ball. Secondly, the rotation of tungsten carbide ball in the grinding plate is poor, which affects the machining accuracy carbide ball to some extent, especially spherical error.

At present, the most of equipments are based on steel ball process, which needs us to improve the equipment and grinding structure, choose proper grinding compounds and grinding plate for optimizing the parameters. In addition, high precision tungsten carbide ball milling mode includes that four-axis ball milling, V-groove grinding, conical grinding, spin rotation control, magnetic grinding and two-way rotation grinding.
