The invention discloses an AlCrN
coating, a preparation method of the AlCrN
coating and a tool. The preparation method comprises the following process steps that S1, a base body is cleaned; s2, vacuumizing and heating the
coating chamber; s3,
inert gas and
hydrogen are introduced, and the surface of the base body is cleaned and subjected to
hydrogen etching; s4, stopping introducing
hydrogen, introducing
inert gas, and performing lateral
ion etching on the surface of the substrate; and S5, two sets of
powder metallurgy CrAl targets are started, the content of Cr in the target materials is 40 at.%, the content of Al in the target materials is 60 at.%,
inert gas and
nitrogen are introduced, the AlCrN coating is prepared through deposition, the
substrate bias voltage is 40-180 V, the bias
voltage frequency is 10-40 kHz, the bias
voltage duty ratio is 50%-90%, the
cathode peak power is 5-30 KW, the
cathode peak current is 220-600 A, and the
cathode pulse width is 80-180 microseconds. According to the preparation method, the AlCrN coating is obtained through parameters of the integrated cathode, the number of liquid drops is effectively reduced, pits in the surface of the coating are reduced, the high-temperature-resistant stability and the
oxidation resistance of the coating are improved, and the abrasion resistance and the adhesion resistance of the coated
cutting tool are improved.
