oxidic top layers were performed using an r.f. power supply in a pure argon atmosphere. The targets were fully ceramic materials with different compositions, also mentioned in Table 8.1. The power supplied by the r.f. generator was kept constant (200 W) during deposition. The experiments show that the deposition rates were very low, compared with the DC deposition of nitrides (e.g. TiN). The structure was amorphous for the Al2O3 and MgAl2O4 films; only the ZrO2-based coatings showed a crystalline structure [19]. The fundamental characterization of the deposited oxidic top coatings on the steel and TZM substrate showed a weak adhesion strength. The ceramic coatings were not able to follow the substrate deformation, which led to adhesive failure of the coating resulting from the low substrate stiffness. Therefore, further investigations were carried out using an interlayer as a support for the oxidic top layer coating. Figure 8.12 shows the impact of a TiN interlayer on the critical scratch load. To verify the need for an interlayer in a real forming test, thixoforging experiments using a segmented test die (shown in Figure 8.11) were carried out later [20]. After the forming experiments, the segments were analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The segments show the first signs of degeneration starting from the edges. These edges have the strongest impact of external loads due to their locations. Areas of onwelded material and plastic deformation can been seen in Figure 8.13a. Regarding the differences between coated and uncoated segments within the die, the coated TZM segments show almost no onwelded material and the inner area of the segments remained smooth and showed no changes. The best results concerning the edge stability were obtained for the bilayer coatings with a TiN interlayer and an oxidic top layer. To increase the durability of the tools, further investigations were needed.

The oxides occur in different metastable crystallographic phases, with excellent properties, depending on the deposition temperature. Especially the g-Al2O3 and tetragonal ZrO2 (t-ZrO2) phases offer, compared with other phases, high strength, toughness and high thermal stability [21, 22]. Also, there is a need to enhance the stability and support for the interlayer towards higher thermal stability and more support of the top layer. TiAlN offers, compared with TiN, higher thermal stability and high hardness by adding aluminium to the cubic TiN [23]. For further development, the TiAlN enhanced the support for the oxidic top layer. 8.4.1 Deposition Process Development of Crystalline PVD Al2O3 Different PVD technologies are available to generate Al2O3 thin-film coatings. One technology is the r.f. sputtering of ceramic target materials [19, 24]. However, the low deposition rate (only 0.12–0.48 mmh 1 in the case of alumina) [19, 24] and the high expenditure are disadvantages of these processes and restricted industrial
