Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a thicker PVD coating. Background technique
[0002] Most cutting tools used for turning, milling, drilling, or other machining operations that form chips are today coated with wear-resistant coatings deposited using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, thereby enabling Extend the life of the tool and / or increase productivity. Typically, thicker coatings are used for increased wear resistance. For CVD coatings this is easy to achieve. However, PVD coatings have several attractive properties compared to CVD coatings, notably the ability to provide compressive stress in the coating, which results in increased toughness compared to CVD coatings. This compressive stress basically originates from the difference in thermal expansion between the substrate and the coating as well as the densification effect brought about by the bombard...
