Effects of hard-coated die on surface roughness of extruded sheets of aluminum alloy are investigated. Roughness (
Ra) of coated area is 0.05 mm, 0.1 μm and 0.2 μm. Hard-coat films of 3 μm thickness, CrN, TiN and TiAlN, are prepared by Arc Ion Plating.
Ra of coated area is observed before extruding, after extruding and after removal of adhesive layer. Average thickness of adhesive layer on the coated area is calculated from volume adhered. When
Ra of bearing area (coated area) was decreased, thickness of adhesive layer and
Ra of extruded sheets were decreased. However, after removal of adhesive layer, CrN and TiN film (
Ra=0.05 μm) had been peeled, and TiAlN film remained unchanged. TiAlN surface roughness (
Ra) was also unchanged during extrusion. As a result, roughness (
Ra) of extruded sheet could be reduced to less than 0.1 mm by TiAlN-coated die.
