Objective
In the project there will be developed the scientific and technological principles for design of new class of low cost self-organizing wear resistant tool materials, e.g. materials that improve operating properties during exploitation. Among different friction joints the cutting tools are operating in extremely unfavourable conditions: high contact stresses, high dynamic and impact loads, high temperatures. So the increase of its wear resistance is an important scientific and technological problem.
The last researches (carried out by Surface Phenomena Researches Group) show, that in several tool materials the phenomenon of self-organization is observed. This phenomenon constitutes of changes of chemical and phase composition and fine structure of contact surface of tool, which influence positively on mechanical and heat conditions of contact interaction between the tool and work piece, and protect a tool surface from wear and prolong in this way a tool life.
Two new adapting tool material classes will be developed in the project:
1. basing on engineered hard coatings applied by plasma vacuum deposition technology with ion implanting gradient layers;
2. basing on deformed compound powder (DCPM) high speed steels with adds of several carbides, nitrides, and oxides;
3. combination of hard coatings and DCPM.
The main aims of this work are the following:
- Development of physico-chemical model of self-organization in cutting tools strengthened by complex coating technology;
- Development of the technology prototype of engineered coatings on base of TiC, ion nitriding, ion implantation of In that allow to reach the required self-organization effect and to increase sharply (in 5 ... 10 times) the work life of various types of tools;
- Elaboration of new surface coated polyphase powder composite materials on base of high speed steel + TiC with adds influencing on the self-organization processes: c-BN, or the ones decreasing friction coefficient (Al2O3, Mo2S). As a way of further technology development, the Al2O3 particles with special coating will be used.
In the present project the physico-chemical phenomena in wear zone will be investigated using all modern techniques of surface analysis (AES, XPS, SIMS, EELFS, SEM).
The previous results obtained by Surface Phenomena Researches Group are very promising: for several kinds of developed composite powder materials tool life was prolonged in 10 times with simultaneous metalworking intensification from 2 to 4 times.
It is expected, that these new "self-organizing" tools will have wear resistance comparable with existing ones and a cost 3 times lower.
Cooperation between EU/CCE/NIS in the Frame of the present project will provide means for innovative technology transfer and strengthening the Community's and NIS scientific and technological basis, and reduction in consumption of the strategic materials such as wolfram.
