Abstract
In this research work we have coated WC (tungsten carbide) tool inserts with diamond like carbon coatings. The deposition was done using the thermal Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) method. We have used bagasse of sugarcane which is an agriculture waste as a carbon precursor for developing the diamond like carbon coatings. Surface finish, cutting temperature and cutting forces of as-developed diamond like carbon coatings on the WC inserts were examined and analyzed in this research work. For confirming the presence of diamond like carbon coatings on the surface of coated tungsten carbide (WC) tool inserts substrate we have used Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (Fe-SEM). The increase in the hardness on the developed coated samples were inspected by performing the hardness test on the coated substrates. The average evaluated Vickers Hardness number were found to be 1455.24 HV and 950.65 HV for both coated as well as un-coated samples respectively. This shows 53% rise in the hardness of the un-coated WC inserts.
