  • Microstructure, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of Mo2N/Ag-SiNx Nanomultilayers with Varying Modulation Periods
    Publication . Fernandes, Filipe; Luan, Jing; Wang, Lei; Dong, Songtao; Ferreira, Fábio; Mo, Changpan; Cavaleiro, Albano; Ju, Hongbo; Kiryukhantsev-Korneev, Philipp
    The multilayered Mo2N/Ag-SiNx self-lubricant films were designed and deposited using a DC (Direct Current) magnetron sputtering system under mixed gas atmosphere of N2 and Ar. The modulation ratio (thickness ratio of Mo2N to Ag-SiNx) was fixed at 2:1, while the modulation periods (thickness of Mo2N and its adjacent Ag-SiNx layer) were set at 20, 40, and 60 nm. The results indicated that all multilayer films, regardless of modulation period, exhibited a combination of face-centered cubic (fcc) and amorphous phases. Specifically, fcc-Mo2N was detected in the Mo2N layers, while fcc-Ag and amorphous SiNx co-existed in the Ag-SiNx layers. The multilayered architecture induced residual stress and interface strengthening, resulting in hardness values exceeding 21 GPa for all films. Compared to Mo2N and Ag-SiNx monolayer films, the multilayer structure significantly enhanced tribological properties at room temperature, particularly in terms of wear resistance. The Mo2N/Ag-SiNx multilayer films exhibit ~25% lower friction than Ag-SiNx, ~3% lower than Mo2N, and achieve remarkable wear rate reductions of ~71% and ~85% compared to Ag-SiNx and Mo2N, respectively, demonstrating superior tribological performance. The synergistic effects of both modulation layers and relative high hardness were key factors contributing to the enhanced tribological behavior.

  • Real-time temperature monitoring during titanium alloy machining with cutting tools integrating novel thin-film sensors
    Publication . Fernandes, Filipe; Martins, Bruno; Patacas, Carlos; Cavaleiro, Albano; Faia, Pedro
    This study explores the integration of titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) and zirconium aluminum nitride (ZrAlN) thin-film sensors into cutting tools for real-time temperature monitoring during machining of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. These sensors, integrated into a multilayer coating for electrical and wear shielding, were deposited directly onto the tool surfaces and calibrated for temperatures up to 750 °C. Due to the integration into the multilayer coating, the sensors exhibit different β sensitivities across the temperature range, ranging from 108 to 825 K for TiAlN and from 950 to 6681 K for ZrAlN. The cutting tests conducted under various cutting conditions, such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and cooling, revealed the influence of these parameters on the cutting temperature. Our findings indicate that the sensor position in the tool’s rake face is fundamental for measuring the cutting temperature. The study introduces an innovative tool connector for integration and signal retrieval of the cutting tool in a “plug-and-play” fashion, compatible with industry standards. Additionally, implementing wireless data transmission for real-time and in-situ temperature monitoring offers a pathway for integrating smart cutting tools into modern manufacturing environments, aligning with Industry 4.0.
