Analysis of Properties of Hard Coatings and Wear Resistance of Chemical Vapour Deposition (PVD) Coated Technology

Abstract

Modern coating methods are having become an important part of industry. Wear resistance, durability, toughness (breakage resistance) and hot hardness (high hardness and chemical stability at high temperature) are the four main technological properties necessary for durability and long life time. These proprieties are for productivity, economy and ecology very important point. This resource deals with the analysis of properties of hard coatings and wear resistance of chemical vapour deposition (PVD) coated technology. It focuses on the preparation, execution and evaluation of test coatings on the front ball-milling cutters. Examination of these characteristic properties may give into an insight to the reason why some systems show excellent wear characteristic.
