Abstract

In today’s production engineering nearly every cutting tool is coated. Since using the technology of coating different process chains for reconditioning have been developed. The last innovation is micro blasted coatings, which is the main topic of this paper. Concerning this topic influences on tool life have been investigated. Investigations on the tool life especially of hobbing tools were made thereby and coherences between coating bond, roughness and other attributes were discovered. The investigations were made with an aluminum oxide and a zirconium oxide as blasting abrasives and a variation of the blasting parameters pressure and period. The final result is an optimization of tool wear behavior by micro blasting of the coating.
