Resistance of wear and oxidation of hard-coated die for aluminum extrusion is investigated. Nitrided layer was prepared by radical nitriding method, and the 3 μm hard coat films, CrN, TiN, TiAlN and TiAlCrN, were prepared by arc ion plating. Hardness, friction coefficient, critical load and roughness (
Ra) of hard-coated specimens (SKD61) were observed before and after oxidation at atmosphere, 500°C-5 h. Roughness (
Ra) of coated area of die before extrusion and after removal of adhesive aluminum were compared. Surface composition of coated area after 5 extrusions were analized by ESCA. In the case of nitrided die, whole coated area was oxidized, scraches (depth: 2 mm, width: 20 μm) had occurred in the direction of extrusion and roughness (
Ra) was increased after 5 extrusions. On the contrary, the roughness of the coated area with TiAlN films hardly changed after 5 extrusions. TiAlN coated die showed higher durability in comparison with dies coated with nitrided, because of the higher oxidation resistance of TiAlN.
