Tribology International, 128. pp. 313-Abstract:The paper presents the results of the comparative tests of carbide samples with multilayered nano-structured coatings based on titanium nitrides (Ti-TiN-(Ti,Cr,Al,Si)N) and zirconium nitrides (Zr-ZrN-(Nb,Zr,Cr,Al)N and Zr-ZrN-(Zr,Al,Si)N). The phase composition and microstructure of these coatings were studied. The scratch test method was applied to study the adhesion bond strength to the substrate and the coating fracture patterns. The tribological parameters of the coated samples were studied at temperatures of 450°C-900 °C. The cutting properties of the tools with the coatings under study were investigated in turning AISI 321 steel. Various coating parameter effects on the cutting tool life were studied.

The functional role of nano-dispersed multi-layered composite coatings (NMCC) deposited on the working surfaces of cutting inserts (CI) made of the layered high-strength ceramic (LHC) to equip the cutting tools when cutting hardened (high-strength) steels was investigated. It is shown that the variation in the composition, structure and properties of coatings allows controlling the contact processes at cutting, increasing the length of contact, reducing normal contact stresses and probability of micro- and macro-brittle failure of tool cutting edge. The mathematical models of cutting which establish dependences of flank wear land of the tool, the tangential component of cutting force, power of cutting and roughness of the machined surface from conditions of cutting of high-strengthen steels are developed. It is found out that the application of nano-dispersed ceramic multi-layered coatings on ceramic tool significantly increases its wear resistance and improves the quality of machining.

The paper studies the influence of properties of a tool made of mixed ceramic by applying modifying with nanoscale multi-layered coatings on machinability of hardened tool steel XVG. The paper also examines the influence of cutting speed on wear resistance of mixed ceramic with nanoscale multilayered coatings. The mathematical models that found out the dependence of tool life of a ceramic tool with coating from cutting speed were developed.
