Characterization and hardness modelling of alternate TIN/TICN multilayer cathodic arc PVD coating on tool steel

Elastic and thermo-physical properties of TiC, TiN, and their intermediate composition alloys using ab initio calculations

“…Nitrogen conveys several positive benefits to TiC materials, and solid solutions of TiC and TiN have been examined for use in several applications, such as cutting tool materials [8], and coating applications [9,10]. Experimental data have been modeled using both thermodynamic and first principle calculation treatments.…”

Phase constituents and mechanical properties of laser in-situ synthesized TiCN/TiN composite coating on Ti-6Al-4V

“…The PVD or CVD methods have been able to generate a single-layer or graded TiCN coating [16] and multi-layered TiCN coating [17,18]. The development of these techniques makes a great advance, whereas they gives rise to many difficulties, such as poor adherence, lower bonding strength, serious cracks propagation at the interface and limitation of the thickness of the coating, due to the huge differences of thermo-mechanical properties between the substrate and TiCN ceramic particles.…”

Manufacturing, Composition, Properties and Application of Sintered Hard Metals

“…Usually, the employed carbides are produced through powder metallurgy (PM) and then the components are mixed and milled together using a binder material (usually organic type), spray-dried into agglomerates and then pressed for obtaining the green forms which are sintered to remove their porosity and at the same time to enhance their mechanical strength. In the case of materials that form short machining chips, like grey cast iron, the main important types of hard metals are WCCo, while employed in the case of materials that provide long machining chips, such as steels, WC-TiC-Co/WC-TiC-TaC-Co are employed [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”
