Nanolayer Nanocomposite ®3TripleCoating

25

By depositing different kinds of materials, the components (like Ti, Cr, Al, and Si) are not mixed, and 2 phases are created. The nanocrystalline TiAlN- or AlCrN-grains become embedded in an amorphous Si N -Matrix. This nanocomposite structure 3 4

significantly improves physical characteristics, they are not depending on the batch load.

Nanolayer is the conventional structure for the so called Nanocoatings. It is a finer version of multilayers with a period of < 20 nm. Its hardness depends on the period. The period depends on the rotation speed of the substrates. Therefore the coating hardness can be different on substrates with different sizes deposited in a mixed batch.

TripleCoatings are deposited with 3 sections freely programmed in one batch:• The adhesion layer is generated with TiN or CrN.• The core is deposited with the nowadays most

used AlTiN.• The nanocomposite (e.g. AlTiN/SiN)

generates the wear resistant skin with extrem high warm hardness.

The monoblock structure without adhesion layer can be produced by the fastest, most economical process. All targets are the same and run during the whole deposition process.

Especially at high aluminum content the monoblock coating should be started with adhesion layer (e.g. TiN or CrN).

The multilayer structure has higher toughness at lower hardness than a comparable monoblock coating. The "sandwich" structure absorbs the cracks by the sublayers. Therefore the multilayer is usually preferred for high dynamical load, e.g. for roughing.

The gradient structure also starts with adhesion layer, with components like TiN and CrN, generating a tough core for the coating. The ratio of hard components (e.g. cubic AlN) will be continuously increased obtaining the highest hardness on the top of the coating.

The beach comparison illustrates the hardness increase made possible by using a nanocomposite structure. Usually, the foot sinks into dry sand. In wet sand, the foot does not sink in or not as far, because the space between sand-corns is filled with water. The surface has a higher resistance, so it is harder.

Comparison of Coating Structures

26

By deposition very different kinds of materials, the components (like Ti, Cr, Al in the first group, and Si in the other) are not mixed completely, and 2 phases are created. The nanocrystalline TiAlN- or AlCrN-grains become embedded in the amorphous Si N -matrix and a nanocomposite 3 4

structure is created.

Silicon increases the thoughness and decreases the internal residual stress of the coating. The inreasing of the hardness is generated by the structure only, the SiN matrix enwraps the hard grains and avoids growing of their size.
