hardness, lower friction coefficient and high chemical stability has attracted
the attention due to its superior performance in hard machining. This study
reviewed the performance of Ti-base hard coating especially TiAlN and TiCN coatings
and the factors influencing the coating properties in machining process. The
said coatings have a good wear resistance, lubricity between cutting tool and
chip interface, high hardness, lower friction coefficient and chemically stable
and is therefore suitable for coating the cutting tool. By coating the cutting
tools, it will significantly improves the cutting tool life and hence increase
the productivity.]]>Ahmad Yasir, M.S., C.H. Che Hassan, A.G. Jaharah and M. Norhamidi,20081329334Arndt, M. and T. Kacsich,2003163-164674680Balaceanu, M., M. Braic, V. Braic and G.
