Tribological properties of TiAlN/a-Cn[sub]x coating

Practical examples are protections of tools for metal powder compaction (Unior, Zreče), drawing and fine blanking of tin coated sheet (Silgan, Ljubljana), dosage needles for pharmaceutical industry (Krka, Novo mesto). The "black coating" is composed of the thick hard bottom TiAlN layer (microhardness about 3200 HV) and the top thin lubricant carbon-based layer (microhardness about 1000 HV). The bottom layer ensures a good wear resistance, while the top one has a rather low friction coefficient and low sticking probability for the workpiece material. The lifetime of tools coated with the black coating increases for 4-times in average.
