Effects of Abrasive Particle Type, Load and Sliding Distance on Micro-Abrasion Resistance of High Speed Steel Coated with AlCrN or AlTiN

High Speed Steel (HSS) specimen surfaces were coated with AlCrN and AlTiN via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) method. Then, the wear performances of film coatings so produced investigated by using different abrasive types particle sizes. During micro-abrasion tests, 0.5, 1 1.5 N loads applied for periods 60 180 seconds. loss increased increasing SiC Al2O3 size. Micro-grooving micro-rolling observed when F800 F1200 slurry used, respectively. It was determined that volume losses formed particles on to be higher than particles. Volume increase in load number cycles. The exhibited better resistance coatings. test had a significant effect mechanisms observed.
