Abstract
The paper is focused on the influence of the thickness of nanolayers in the Ti-TiN-(Ti,Cr,Al)N coating on the cutting properties of the tools during the turning of 09G2S silicon-manganese steel. Coatings with the nanolayer thicknesses of 302, 70, and 16 nm were considered. The conducted studies have revealed that a tool with a coating in which the nanolayer thickness is equal to 16 nm demonstrates the longest tool life. At the same time, for such tool, the wear pattern is more balanced, and signs of brittle fracture on the coating are less pronounced. The Ti-TiN- (Ti,Cr,Al)N coating with the nanolayer thickness of 16 nm provides an increase in the tool life by 3.5 times compared to an uncoated tool and by 1.3–1.5 times compared to the tools with the Ti-TiN-(Ti,Cr,Al)N coating with thicker nanolayers.
