Experimental Study on the Influence of TiN/AlTiN PVD Layer on the Surface Characteristics of Hot Work Tool Steel

It is desirable to improve tool steel wear resistance to produce pieces with precise dimensions and increase the lifetime of tools. The aim of this work was to modify the surface of 1.2344 (X40CrMoV5-1) hot work tool steel to improve the wear properties. Surface modification was achieved in three st...
