METHOD FOR OBTAINING MULTI-LAYERED COATING FOR CUTTING TOOL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C23C14/06 C23C14/24 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: vacuum plasma application of multi-layered coating is performed. First, lower layer of nitride of titanium, molybdenum and niobium is applied at the following component ratio, wt %: titanium 87.0-92.0, molybdenum 2.0-3.0, niobium 6.0-10.0. After that, intermediate layer of carbonitride of titanium, molybdenum and niobium compound is applied at the following component ratio, wt %: titanium 87.0-92.0, molybdenum 2.0-3.0, niobium 6.0-10.0. After that, upper layer of nitride of titanium and molybdenum compound is applied at the following component ratio, wt %: titanium 95.5-97.0, molybdenum 3.0-4.5. Application of coating layers is performed with three cathodes horizontally located in one plane; the first and the second of the above cathodes are made from titanium and molybdenum and located opposite to each other, and the third cathode is made from titanium and niobium and located between them. Lower and intermediate layers are applied using all the three cathodes, and upper layer is applied using the first and the second cathodes.

EFFECT: invention allows increasing serviceability of a cutting tool.
