Abstract
TiC layer could be deposited on the cemented carbide by plasma assisted CVD process at relatively lower temperatures compared with conventional CVD process. The characteristics of the TiC coated cemented carbide plasma CVD were studied.
It was found that the strength of the TiC coated cemented carbide by plasma CVD was much improved compared with the conventional CVD, and it also showed a satisfactory performance for heavy duty interrupted cutting such as steel milling.
