This paper is studied on the effect of TiAlN coated Ball End Mill and MQL(Minimum Quantity Lubrication) cutting condition on cutting characteristic of high hardness steels. KP4 steels[HRC32] and STD11[HRC60] heat treated steels were used as the workpiece and WC-Co ball end mill and single and multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill were utilized in the cutting tests. MQL device was used to spray botanical oil coolant. Result showed that TiAlN coated ball end mill were increased the cutting length than WC-Co ball end mill in the cutting speed[$245{\sim}320m/min$] about $2.3{\sim}5.7$ times for KP4 steels and about $2.5{\sim}4.3$ times far STD11 heat treated steels. The multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill is good for KP4 steels than single layer coated.

In this research KP-4, one of the plastic mold steels, was coated with the AlTiN from one layer to four layers by the PVD method in the $\Phi$ cemented carbide ball end mill. Coated KP-4 was processed with various conditions. For example, slope of $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ the spindle rotation speed was changed from 10,000rpm to 16,000rpm, the tool feeding speed was changed from 1,300mm/min to 1,700mm/min, the depth of cut was also changed from 0.3mm to 0.9mm, and etc. Cutting component force according to the coating layer number, surface roughness, and the wear of tool were studied.

This paper investigated into process characteristics of AlTiN coated layers for machining to the direction of upper and lower in plastic mold material (KP-4) with the cemented carbide ball endmill with the diameter of 8mm coated AlTiN layers (1~4) step by step using machining center. The material used in experiments was KP-4 that was machined by three types of inclined angles; $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ As estimated mechanical properties of AlTiN coated layers, it was shown the most result in the condition of three layered coating that the coating that the coating depth, the hardness of the coated layer and the surface roughness of the coated layer were $13{\mu}m$, Hv 3027.3 and $0.042{\mu}m$, respectively. The cutting component was better at the condition of upper direction than that of lower direction in all experimental conditions and indicated to be less which the bigger angle of the material was increased the effective diameter of the tool.

Purpose: HCD ion plating apparatus by hollow cathod discharge method was fabricated and TiN films were deposited on stainless steel by this apparatus with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow and the fine color changes of TiN films were analyzed. Methods: The spectroradiometer and spectrophotometer were used to observe optically the fine color changes of TiN thin films, and XPS was used to analyze the compositions of TiN thin films with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. Results: The color coordinate of TiN thin film with $N_2$ 120 sccm gas flow showed (0.382, 0.372) which had the mixed colors of gold and silver, and the color coordinate changed to the increasing value of (x,y) with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow which indicated the deep gold color. It was found that the slopes of the reflectances at 550nm were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. And from the Ti scans using XPS, it was found that the peak heights of 455 eV derived from TiN composition were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow, while the peak heights of 459 eV from $TiO_2$ composition were decreased. Conclusions: The results obtained above were that the color of TiN film with 120 sccm $N_2$ gas flow had been observed from the mixed color of silver and gold due to TiC, $N_2$, TiN on the surface and TiN, $N_2$ inside film, and the color of TiN films changed a deep gold color with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow due to increasing TiN composition.

In this study, the effects of oxide layer formed on the contact parts of TiN coated ball and steel disk in sliding are investigated. Also wear mechanism to form the oxide layer and the characteristics of the oxide layer formation are investigated. AIS152100 steel ball is used for the substrate of coated ball specimens. Two types of coated ball specimens were prepared by depositing TiN coating with 1 and 4um in coating thickness. AISI1045 steel is used for the disk type counter-body. To investigate the effect of oxide layer on the contact parts of the two materials, the tests were performed both in ambient for forming oxide layer on the contact parts and in nitride environment to avoid oxidation. And to study the effects of surface roughness of counter-body, TiN coating thickness and contact load of sliding test on the characteristics of oxide layer formation on counter-body, various tests were carried out. From the results, the friction characteristics between the two materials was predominated by iron oxide layer that formed on wear track on counter-body and this layer caused the high friction. And the formation rate of the oxide layer on wear track increased as the real contact area between the two materials increased as the contact load increased, the TiN coating thickness decreased and the surface of counter-body smoothened.

다이아몬드는 지구상에서 가장 단단한 물질로 잘 알려져 있을 뿐만 아니라 공업적 측면에서 볼 때, 여러 가지 특출한 성질들을 동시에 지니고 있다. 인장강도, 압축강도, 탄성계수 등 기계적 특성이 우수하고 넓은 광투과성과 내열, 내화학, 내방사성을 지니고 있으며, 열전도율이 높고 전기적으로 절연체이다. 또한 hole이동도가 높고 도핑에 의해서 반도체적 특성을 나타낸다. 이와 같이 매우 뛰어난 성질을 공업적으로 응용하기 위하여 이전부터 많은 연구가 행해져 왔으며, 1980년대에 들어와 박막이나 코팅 형태로의 합성이 가능한 기상합성법이 큰 발전을 보임으로써 다이아몬드의 우수한 특성을 여러 분야에서 폭넓게 응용할 수 있게 되었다. 특히 마찰 응용분야에 최적의 재료로 추천되고 있다. 지금도 Epitaxial 다이이몬드를 기지 위에 성장시키고 다결정질박막을 여러 가지 비다이아몬드(Si, W, Mo 등) 기지 위에 성장시키는 연구가 계속되고 있으며 공구강 위엥 경질코팅으로써 한층 개선된 다이아몬드박막 제조를 위한 수많은 연구노력들이 집중되고 있다. 그러나 일반탄소강에 다이아몬드박막을 성장시키기 위한 많은 노력들은 크게 바람직하지 않은 non-diamond carbon(black carbon or graphitic soot)의 형성 때문에 방해를 받고 있다. 계면에서 이들의 형성은 증착된 다이아몬드박막과 금속기지의 저조한 밀착력을 나타내게 된다. 이외 같이 다이아몬드박막의 응용을 위하여 다이아몬드피막에 요구되는 중요한 조건은 기지에 대해서 강한 밀착력을 나타내는 것이며, 동시에 상대물에 대하여 낮은 마찰계수를 가져야 한다. 그러나 다이아몬드와 금속기지는 서로 다른 열챙창계수(각각 0.87$\times$10-6K-1, 12$\times$10-6K-1)의 차이로 인하여 밀착력이 현저히 떨어진다는 단점으로 인해 산업화에 많은 제약을 받아왔다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 다이아몬드박막과 금속기지 사이에 중간층을 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이러한 시도는 일반적으로 중간층 형성 금속인 Ti 또는 TiN 등이 적용되었으나 원하는 결과를 얻지 못하였다. 즉 carbon과 Fe의 상호확산, non-diamond carbon상의 형성 그리고 열잔류응력을 완화시키고 일반탄소강 위에 다이아몬드박막을 형성시켜 우수한 밀착력을 얻기 위한 목적에 미흡하였던 것이다. 이에 중간층으로 Cr 또는 Cr계 화합물 박막을 이용하였는 바, 이 중간층을 이용한 결과 우수한 밀착력을 나타내는 다이아몬드박막을 얻었으며 열적, 구조저으로 모재와 다이아몬드에 적합한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에 의해 얻어진 결과들은 재료 가공을 위하여 높은 경도와 내마모성등이 요구되는 절삭공구나 금형의 수명 향항에 크게 기여할 것이며 산업적으로 큰 응용이 기대된다.
