文摘

In this study, a novel quaternary (Ti, Al, Zr)N coating was successfully fabricated via multi-arc ion plating (MAIP) technique on the Si₃N₄ ceramic substrate. During the MAIP process, a combination of Ti target, Zr target, and AlTi target was used. Four groups of (Ti, Al, Zr)N coatings were produced with different bias voltages (50, 100, 150, and 200 V) but the same target current. The effect of the pulsed bias voltage on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear mechanism of the (Ti, Al Zr)N coating was investigated in order to optimize the cutting performance of PVD coated ceramic cutting tool. The results of turning tests indicated that the dominant wear mechanism for the cutting tool prepared at the bias of 50 V was abrasive and fatigue wear. The mechanisms were the combination of adhesive wear and abrasive wear when the bias was increased from 100 to 200 V. It is believed that this study provides a new perspective to understand the critical role of bias voltage of MAIP for the quaternary coatings on Si₃N₄ cutting tools.
