The invention relates to a
coating for a high-
hardness die steel washing and
milling cutter and preparation of the
coating, and belongs to the technical field of
milling cutter coatings. The invention provides a preparation method of a
coating for a high-
hardness die steel washing and
milling cutter, which comprises the following steps of: ultrasonically cleaning a milling cutter, rinsing with deionized water,
drying and preheating to obtain a treated base material, then carrying out bottom layer deposition on the treated base material by adopting multi-arc
ion plating to obtain an intermediate base material, and carrying out heat treatment on the intermediate base material to obtain the coating for the high-
hardness die steel washing and milling cutter. And finally, carrying out
surface layer deposition on the intermediate base material by adopting multi-arc
ion plating. According to the method, an AlTi target material is used,
ion plating deposition is carried out under the
nitrogen atmosphere, a tough and
antioxidant AlTiN-based coating can be formed, and the hardness of the surface of the tool is enhanced; and on the AlTiN-based coating, the TiAlSi target material is adopted,
solid solution strengthening of the
Si element is combined, the hardness of the coating is remarkably improved, and the method is suitable for
machining of high-hardness die steel.
