Abstract Scope |
The current state-of-research/development of advanced alumina-based coating is reviewed and summarized. Thanks to the processing control and advanced characterization techniques, after a few decades, alumina coatings have been developed from low deposition rate, un-controlled phases to current highly textured and thermal stable alpha-phase with significant improved cutting performance. Pioneering studies in this field as well as recent findings contributing to the establishment of comprehensive “synthesis–structure– property–application performance” relationships of the alumina coatings are discussed. The crystal growth and formation mechanism are also included from the literature review. Further, the future challenge and developing needs/directions for high performance cutting tools with multifunction and integration are expected. |
