- Abstract
Hard coatings, such as transition metal nitrides, have been widely applied to improve the mechanical properties and tribological performance of cutting tools. The coatings in various multilayered or gradient structures have been designed to meet the demands of more severe service environments and more precise processing requirements. In this work, TiN/TiSiN coatings in several gradient and multilayered structures were deposited on cemented carbides by cathodic arc ion plating using Ti and TiSi alloy targets. The modulation period (Λ) of the multilayer gradually varies with thickness, ranging from 6 to 46 nm. The gradient multilayer coatings consist of a nanocrystalline-amorphous composite with compact growth. The coating with a modulation period first increasing and then decreasing has the highest hardness of 38 GPa, and the maximum residual compressive stress of −2.71 GPa, as well as the minimum coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate. Gradient and multilayer structures moderate the brittleness caused by the presence of amorphous SiNx phase and optimize the mechanical properties and tribological performances of the coatings.
