Abstract:

Machining tools often are subjected to varied types of machining forces, which in turn produce many stresses. All such collectively affect various parameters like the tool life, deformation, Material Removal Rate, Surface finish, etc. The workpiece's coating makes a composite material that exhibits properties that cannot be achieved by either material. This Project aims to enhance the tool's surface properties through coating combinations of Titanium Nitride and Titanium Aluminium Nitride using the Physical /vapor Deposition (PVD) technique. The tool's performance is verified using Taylor's Tool Life Equation under identical working conditions. The tool life is estimated using the facing test, and the best combination is determined.
