Abstract

In the present study, the effect of variousN2gas flow rates on friction coefficient and surface roughness ofTiN-coated D2 tool steel was examined by a commercially available cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) technique. A Pin-on-Disc test was carried out to study the Coefficient of friction (COF) versus sliding distance. A surface roughness tester measured the surface roughness parameters. The minimum values for the COF and surface roughness were recorded at aN2gas flow rate of 200 sccm. The increase in the COF and surface roughness at aN2gas flow rate of 100 sccm was mainly attributed to an increase in both size and number of titanium particles, whereas the increase at 300 sccm was attributed to a larger number of growth defects generated during the coating process. These ideas make it possible to optimize the coating properties as a function ofN2gas flow rate for specific applications, e.g. cutting tools for automobiles, aircraft, and various mechanical parts.
