正确选择刀具涂层（Choose tool coating correctly） How to choose the right tool coating The small circular cutter for proper surface treatment can improve tool life and reduce machining cycle time, enhance the quality of the machined surface. However, according to the requirement of the machining tool coating may be the correct choice is a confusing and hard work. Each kind of coating in the cutting process are both advantages and disadvantages, if the choice of the coating is not appropriate, may lead to tool life is lower than that without coating tool, sometimes even leads to more problems than the previous coating. There are many kinds of coated tools available, including PVD coating, CVD coating and PVD coating alternately and CVD composite coating, coating from the cutting tool manufacturers or suppliers can easily obtain these coatings. This paper will introduce some common attributes of tool coating and some commonly used PVD, CVD coating selection scheme. In determining the selection of the coating is the most beneficial for cutting, each feature coating plays a very important role. Properties of 1. coatings (1) hardness The high surface hardness of coating is one of the best ways to improve the tool life. In general, material or surface hardness is high, the longer tool life. Titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coating than titanium nitride (TiN) coating has higher hardness. Due to the increase of carbon content, the hardness of TiCN coating increased by 33%, the hardness range is about Hv3000 ~ 4000 (depending on manufacturer). Application of CVD diamond coating on the surface hardness of up to Hv9000 in the tool has been mature, compared with the PVD coating tool, CVD diamond coating tool life increased by 10 ~ 20 times. High hardness and cutting speed of diamond coating than non coated tool to improve the ability of 2~3 times to become a good choice for non iron group material cutting. (2) resistance The wear resistance of the coating is refers to the ability to resist w
