Abstract

Increasing demands on production processes in terms of performance, reliability and environmental compatibility shape the specification profile for modem wear resistant coating systems. The specification of PVD coated cutting tools by the parameters hardness, wear and frictional behavior, chemical structure or chemical resistance are already known and inspected by small scale tests, e.g. pin on disc or taber abraser test. Hitherto the thermophysical properties of thin film PVD coatings were not characterized completely although the investigation of the thermal diffusivity of coated substrates give information about the thermal barrier function of the deposited coating.

To determine the thermophysical properties of PVD coatings the Jenoptik Thermal Wave Inspection (TWIN) can be used. This nondestructive and contactless measuring system is based on the photothermal spectroscopy. In this paper fundamentals of the TWIN measuring technique are presented as well as first TWIN results of investigated MSIP TiN and TiAlN coated and oxidized high speed steels.
