Typical defects in microstructure al a surface-coating interface in ch
emical vapor deposition coated cemented carbides are described. Result
s on applying new technologies developed to improve reliability and se
rviceability of coated cemented carbides are presented. Using WC-based
cemented carbide substrates with a uniform, fine microstructure etche
d before coating eliminates various defects at the surface-coating int
erface. This results in improvement in serviceability and reliability
of the coated cemented carbides in metal-cutting. (C) 1997 Elsevier Sc
