J. Walkowicz et al., ANTIWEAR PROPERTIES OF TI(C,N) LAYERS DEPOSITED BY THE VACUUM ARE METHOD, Surface & coatings technology, 81(2-3), 1996, pp. 201-208
This article presents results of investigations of multi-component coa
tings of the Ti(C,N) type used to improve durability of cutting tools.
The coatings were deposited on tools made of high-speed steel and sin
tered carbides by the vacuum arc method. The working atmosphere was co
mposed of nitrogen and acetylene. Wear tests were carried out in labor
atories and on industrial scale.
