Surface Integrity Assessment of Post-Treated Al₂O₃/TiCN Coatings for Cutting Tools Applications
(2026) 10th Conference on High Performance Cutting, CIRP-HPC 2026 141. p.138-143- Abstract
Cutting tools are generally subjected to harsh environments, such as high temperatures and pressures, during machining operations. In recent years, the introduction of surface engineering methods on CVD-coated carbide tools has led to significant improvements in their machining performance. However, the interplay between surface engineering process parameters and the resulting surface integrity of coated tools is still not well understood. In order to analyse the effective performance of coated cutting tools, this work aims to develop characterization protocols and testing approaches to assess and understand the effects of coating post-treatment processes on surface integrity. To this end, a systematic methodology based on multi-scale... (More)
Cutting tools are generally subjected to harsh environments, such as high temperatures and pressures, during machining operations. In recent years, the introduction of surface engineering methods on CVD-coated carbide tools has led to significant improvements in their machining performance. However, the interplay between surface engineering process parameters and the resulting surface integrity of coated tools is still not well understood. In order to analyse the effective performance of coated cutting tools, this work aims to develop characterization protocols and testing approaches to assess and understand the effects of coating post-treatment processes on surface integrity. To this end, a systematic methodology based on multi-scale indentation techniques was employed to compare damage mechanisms associated with different post-treatment processes, namely dry blasting and wet blasting, applied to Al₂O₃/TiCN coatings. The residual stresses in the coated systems were evaluated using the XRD technique, providing further insight into the damage mechanisms observed during indentation testing.
