Abstract

The effect of the deposition parameters on structure and phase composition of Ti-Al-Cr-Zr-Nb-N coatings manufactured by the arc-PVD method is studied. The effect of the arc current on the elemental composition of the coatings is ascertained. Obtaining a coating with a single- or two-phase structure based on TiN or ZrN + TiN nitrides with diluted atoms of metal (Nb, Cr, or Al) is found to be feasible by means of controlling the arc current. The coatings are characterized by high values of hardness, modulus of elasticity, and adhesion/cohesion strength. The tests under conditions of a continuous cutting show that the wear resistance of a coated tool increases by a factor of 5.5.
