METHOD OF PREPARATION OF MULTI-LAYER COATING FOR CUTTING TOOL Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C23C14/06 C23C14/16 C23C14/34 B23B27/14 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: on working surfaces of cutting tool double-layer coating is applied with vacuum-plasma method. As bottom layer nitride of titanium, zirconium and molybdenum is applied, which contains 24-25% of zirconium, and as top layer nitride of titanium, zirconium and molybdenum is applied, which contains 7-8% of zirconium. Application of coating is implemented with application of three evaporators, which are installed in horizontal plane, from which two opposite ones contain titanium and molybdenum, and evaporator installed between them contains titanium and zirconium. All three evaporators are used in application of top layer, and in application of bottom layer one of evaporators that contains molybdenum is not used.

EFFECT: increase of cutting tool operability and quality of its processing.
