PROCEDURE FOR PRODUCTION OF MULTI-LAYER COATING FOR CUTTING TOOL Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C23C14/24 C23C14/06 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: procedure for production of multi-layer coating for cutting tool consists in vacuum-plasma application of three-layer coating. Carbonitride of titanium and molybdenum is applied as a lower layer at pressure of acetylene in the chamber of the installation 7.5·10^-4 Pa and temperature 600°C. The same carbonitride alloyed with silicon is applied as an intermediate layer at pressure of acetylene in the chamber of the installation 7.5·10^-4 Pa and temperature 550°C. As an upper layer there is applied carbonitride of titanium and silicon at pressure of acetylene in the chamber of the installation 4.3·10^-3 Pa and temperature 500°C.

EFFECT: increased functionality of cutting tool (CT) and upgraded quality of treatment.
