Objectif Protective coatings deem vital for endurance, performance and wear protection of modem tools. It is needless to say that an enormous number of costly replacements are performed every year in Europe to fix failing tools. The importance of wear protection for machining applications, such as drilling, turning, milling etc. is illustrated by the fact that today 40% of all the European made cutting tools are coated. It is also important to mention that the market for coated tools is rapidly growing world-wide. Unfortunately, the cost of protective coating is relatively high; this cost is passed to the consumer via the retail price; but the coated tools are still lacking the desired quality and fail to satisfy modem requirements such as fast speed of machining and cutting. (It should be noted that besides wear, such parameters as toughness, oxidation resistance, chemical stability, low friction against the material to be machined, adherence to the substrate, thermal conductivity and compatibility with the substrates, etc. define the quality of coatings.) Manufacturers express concern and try to respond to the consumer's complaints about insufficient quality of machining tools that significantly limits their applications.There is an acute need for a low-cost innovative technological concept that satisfies essential marketing conditions regarding cost yet is characterised by high performance, wear resistance, reliability and endurance characteristics. The core SME proposers represent a complimentary team of tool manufacturers and distributors who will be united to explore the potential of novel protective coating technology that possesses very high performance characteristics. The novel coating materials will largely mitigate the current problems the manufacturers of machining tools are facing. The technology that will be developed in the course of the Project would largely improve the quality, compatibility, endurance and reliability of materials used in machining tools...
