摘要
This work deals with the microstructures and wear properties of chemical vapour deposited gamma-Al2O3. The gamma-Al2O3 coatings were deposited at 800 degreesC on TiN and Ti(C,N) pre-coated cemented carbide substrates. The microstructures developed in the gamma-Al2O3 coatings and the influence of the nucleation surface on the growth of gamma-Al2O3 were characterised using transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The gamma-Al2O3 coatings were fine-grained with a high density of {111} growth twins and contained some residual sulphur. gamma-Al2O3 was found to grow epitaxially on the investigated substrates. The mechanical properties were evaluated in metal cutting and were compared with those of kappa-Al2O3 coated tools. As compared with the kappa-Al2O3 coatings, the gamma-Al2O3 coatings exhibited slightly worse adhesion and tendency for edge chipping. However, the gamma-Al2O3 coatings showed better crater wear resistance on the rake face than kappa-Al2O3 coatings. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
