Abstract

Adhesion of diamond coatings to cutting tool substrates is an important property that is needed to replace the polycrystalline diamond tools (PCD) in machine tool applications. The improvement in adhesion of diamond on WC(Co) tool substrates is brought about by formation of a composite layer. Composite layers made up of TiC or TiN and diamond were formed by laser physical vapor deposition of ceramic coatings and hot filament chemical vapor deposition of diamond films. A first layer of discontinuous diamond film on WC is embedded in the ceramic coatings followed by growth of a continuous diamond film that maintains continuity with the first diamond layer. The composite coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. Adhesion and wear resistance of the diamond coatings were measured using a polishing wear test. The mechanisms of improvement in adhesion were analyzed by finite element modeling. Results show that TiC composite layers improve the adhesion of diamond coatings significantly. This improvement is considered to arise from the modification of the thermal stress at the interface between the diamond film and the WC(Co) tool substrate.
