Abstract
Medium-frequency magnetron sputtered coupled with multi-arc ion plated MoS2/Zr coatings were deposited on M2 high speed steel (HSS) tools. The thickness, micro-hardness and coating-substrate adhesion strength of the composite coatings were studied. Surface morphologies of the as-deposited coatings as well as wear surface features after dry machining tests were investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that deposition of the MoS2/Zr composite coatings onto M2 HSS twist drills causes significant enhancement in cutting performance. Coated tools exhibit improved flank wear resistance compared with that of M2 uncoated tools. The wear mechanism of the flank face and cheisel edge of the MoS2/Zr coated tools is mainly delamination of the coating, and mild adhesion and abrasive wear.
