“…Structural features, physical-mechanical and tribological properties of multilayer structures can be reviewed in detail on the refractory and transition metals (Ti, Cr, Zr and Mo) based nitride coatings [2,10,29,82,108,118,119]. TiN/ZrN, TiN/MoN and CrN/MoN coatings were deposited on the steel substrates by the vacuum-arc evaporation method [8,99,100,120]. The vacuum chamber was equipped with a pressure control system and two evaporators with Ti, Cr or Mo targets.…”

“…Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of cross sections of the TiN/ZrN multilayer coatings (bilayer thickness of about 40 nm) fabricated at −150 and −200 V demonstrate a good planarity of the layers that do not intersect and are characterized by homogeneity without droplet inclusions inside the layers and between them ( Figure 7) [123]. The friction coefficient was found to be approximately 1.2 [99,123]. Hence, TiN/ZrN multilayer systems demonstrate high hardness and resistance to wear, which indicates they can be successfully applied as protective coatings.…”

One area of constant interest in many fields of industry is development of functional multilayer coatings that possess excellent performance characteristics. That is why in our brief review the results of studies of structure and properties of multilayer structures based on binary nitrides of transition or refractory metals obtained by various physical-vapor deposition (PVD) techniques are presented. The influence of substrate temperature, substrate bias voltage, bilayer thickness and interface boundaries on the structure of coatings and their properties, such as hardness, plasticity, wear and corrosion resistance, are discussed in detail. This review may be useful for students and growing community of researchers interested in the synthesis-structure-properties relationship in multilayer coatings based on metal nitrides.

“…It allows to improve significantly the protective properties of deposited coatings. On the other hand, the design of multilayer coatings with different composition of bilayers (soft and solid phases) allows to reduce internal stresses and brittleness while high values of hardness from 30 to 45 GPa are maintained [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. One of the promising multilayer systems is the combination of chromium and molybdenum nitrides [29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Superhard CrN/MoN coatings with multilayer architecture

et al. 2018

The main regularities of the formation of microstructure and properties of multilayer nanostructured CrN/MoN films with periodically changing architecture of layers were considered. The transition metal nitride coatings with high hardness and wear resistance were obtained by vacuum-arc evaporation of the cathodes (Arc-PVD) in nitrogen atmosphere at several sets of predetermined deposition parameters. CrN/MoN multilayers were fabricated using constant nitrogen pressure of 0.4, 0.09 and 0.03 Pa. All samples were divided into three main series depending on the values of bias voltage applied to the substrates (-20,-150 and-300 V). Each serial of samples contain multilayer films varying in the individual layer deposition time and, hence, thickness, which is in range from 1.7 µm to 20 nm. The morphology of surface and microstructure of cross-sections were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elemental composition and elemental depth profiles were characterised by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) EDS. Micro-and nanostructural analysis of the films was performed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), grazing incidence XRD (GIXRD), in-plane XRD, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and HRTEM selected area electron diffraction (SAED). The main phases formed in films were two CrN and γ-Mo 2 N nitride phases with cubic lattice of NaCl type and not significant volume of additional metastable MoN cubic phase depending on nitrogen pressure and bias voltage. The preferential orientation of planes changes from [311] to [111] and [200] with the increase of absolute value of bias voltage from-20 V to-150 V and-300 V respectively. The size of nanograins in coatings with a nanometre bilayers thickness was about 12 nm, while micro-deformation of nanocrystallites was about 0.5-0.6%. Coatings with thin nanoscale bilayers have shown high hardness (38-42 GPa) and strong wear resistance, which makes them appropriate and promising for industrial applications as protective ones. The relations between deposition conditions and obtained composition, structure and features were studied. The best parameters and deposition conditions were discussed as recommended to achieve superior mechanical and physical properties of coatings with long lifetime and applicable for harsh environment.

“…Many research groups around the world have worked on this topic, and many papers have been published that review and evaluate the recent progress in this area [127,133,155,[158][159][160]. Among the most recent and interesting multilayer solutions for protective coatings there are TiN/TiAlN [161,162], TiAlN/TaN [163], Ti(Al)N/Cr(Al)N [121], (TiAlSiY)N/MoN [164], CrN/AlSiN [165], AlCrN/TiAlTaN [166], TiSiC/NiC [167], TiN/MoN [168,169], TiN/WN [170], TiN/ZrN [171], Zr/ZrN [172], Ta/TaN [173], CrN/MoN [174][175][176], (TiZrNbHfTa)N/WN [177], and multilayer hard/soft DLC coatings [178]. In particular, the following multi-layered coatings were also deposited on cemented carbide substrates or machining tool inserts, including WC-Co-based inserts, for mechanical tests in laboratories or for industrial tests: TiN/TiAlN [162], TiAlN/TiSiN [179], CrAlSiN/TiVN [180], AlCrN/TiVN [181], TiVN/TiSiN [182], CrN/CrCN [183], AlTiCrSiYN/AlTiCrN [184] TiCrAlN/TiCrAlSiYN [185].…”

The Critical Raw Materials in Cutting Tools for Machining Applications: A Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including operations such as drilling, milling turning and so on. These demanding conditions impose a seriously high strain rate (an order of magnitude higher than forming), and this limits the useful life of cutting tools, especially single-point cutting tools. Tungsten carbide is the most popularly used cutting tool material, and unfortunately its main ingredients of W and Co are at high risk in terms of material supply and are listed among critical raw materials (CRMs) for EU, for which sustainable use should be addressed. This paper highlights the evolution and the trend of use of CRMs) in cutting tools for mechanical machining through a timely review. The focus of this review and its motivation was driven by the four following themes: (i) the discussion of newly emerging hybrid machining processes offering performance enhancements and longevity in terms of tool life (laser and cryogenic incorporation); (ii) the development and synthesis of new CRM substitutes to minimise the use of tungsten; (iii) the improvement of the recycling of worn tools; and (iv) the accelerated use of modelling and simulation to design long-lasting tools in the Industry-4.0 framework, circular economy and cyber secure manufacturing. It may be noted that the scope of this paper is not to represent a completely exhaustive document concerning cutting tools for mechanical processing, but to raise awareness and pave the way for innovative thinking on the use of critical materials in mechanical processing tools with the aim of developing smart, timely control strategies and mitigation measures to suppress the use of CRMs.
