METHOD OF PRODUCING SANDWICHED COATING FOR CUTTING TOOL

摘要

FIELD: process engineering.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to application of wearproof coating on cutting tool and can be used in machining. Vacuum plasma sandwiched coating is applied. First, bottom ply of titanium nitride is applied. Then, applied is top ply of titanium, aluminium and niobium nitrides at the following ratio of components in wt %: titanium - 70.0-80.0, aluminium - 14.0-20.0, niobium - 6.0-10.0. Coating plies are applied by three cathodes arranged horizontally in one plane. First cathode are made of titanium and aluminium alloy, second cathode is made of titanium and arranged opposite the first one while third cathode is made of titanium and niobium and arranged there between. Bottom ply is applied with the help of second cathode while top ply is applied by first and third cathodes.EFFECT: higher cutting efficiency.1 tbl
