METHOD FOR OBTAINING MULTI-LAYERED COATING FOR CUTTING TOOL Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C23C14/06 C23C14/24 B23B27/14 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: vacuum plasma application of multi-layered coating is performed. First, a lower layer of titanium nitride is applied. Then, an upper layer of nitride of titanium, zirconium and aluminium is applied at the following component ratio, wt %: titanium 73.0-81.0, zirconium 12.0-16.0, aluminium 7.0-11.0. Application of coating layers is performed with three cathodes located horizontally in one plane. The first cathode consists of titanium and zirconium, the second one consists of titanium and is located opposite to the first one, and the third one consists of alloy of titanium and aluminium and is located between them. The lower layer is applied using the second cathode, and the upper layer is applied using the first and the third cathodes.

EFFECT: improving operability of a cutting tool.
