TiYN coated high speed steel tools have been developed and their tool lifes were assessed. First yttrium alloyed titanium target was manufactured, then using the arc ion plating(AIP) technique TiYN coating was deposited onto high speed steel substrate. Three kinds of varying thickness of TiYN coated tools were prepared. Cutting tests were carried out with theses tools and for comparison with the commercially available uncoated, TiN, TiCN and TiAlN coated tools. During the cutting tests flank wear width vs. cutting time was measured. It has been revealed that the newly developed TiYN coated tools show superior tool life characteristics to others.

Effects of process variables of HCD ion plating on the film composition of Ti(C, N) were analyzed. The mole ratio of carbon to nitrogen and that of non-metal to titanium in the film primarily depend on the partial pressure ratio of ($C-2H_2$/ $N_2$) and total reactive gas pressure, respectively. The amount of nonmetallic com-ponents increases in nonlinear fashion as the total gas pressure due to the different reactivity of $C-2H_2$ and $N_2$ gases with Ti. The nonmetallic components was saturated dwith nitrogen when the nitrogen gas was more than 60% of total reactive gas. These two process variables could be related systematically using the concept of effective pressure in which the difference of reactivity of each gas was normalized.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the diffusion behavior of Al and Si from a coatings in the microstucture of Fe-Si steel. Steel samples deposited with Al-Si alloy are prepared by ion plating process, followed by annealing treatments for diffusion at $1050^{\circ}C$. Several intermetallic phases are found in the coatings and they are identified as Fe-Al and an orderd Fe-Si compounds. Series of different concentration profiles through the sample have been obtained and Si content reaches about 5 wt% in case of 90 minutes of diffusion time.

DLC is considered as the candidate material for application of moving parts in automotive components relatively in high pressure and temperature operating conditions for its high hardness with self lubrication and chemical inertness. The properties of interlayer between the substrate and the DLC film were studied. Arc ion plating method have been employed to deposit onto substrate and sputtering method was used for synthesizing DLC onto interlayer. Among these six types of interlayer, deposited DLC film onto TiCN showed excellent value for characteristics. From the results of analysis for physical properties of DLC films, it seems that the adhesion forces were more important factors than intrinsic mechanical properties such as hardness, roughness and wear resistance of DLC films. AFM(Atomic Force Microscope) was used for understanding roughness of DLC films. Hardnesses of the coating layers were identified by nano-indentation method and adhesions were checked by scratch method.

Al ion plating was carried to improve corrosion resistance of Nd-based permanent magnet made by prwder molding method. The effects of applied votage, pressyre and temperature were investigated to find the reation between coating parameters and their properties. Density of coating layer increased with voltage and thus corrosion resistance improved. However when voltage was applied more than 1000V, corrosion resistance whet down because of resputtering effect. Good corrosion resistance was acquired when gas pressure was $5.0\times10^-2$>torr, which is satisfied momentum energy of Ar, Al ions as well as quantity of plasma. The layer coated in low temperature range have better surface density and corrosion resistance than in high temperature. This result is seemed due to the characteristics of substrate itself. All coating layers were showed stong adhesion with substrate.

Amorphous carbon nitride (a-C:N) multilayerfilms are formed by using altermating conditions during film deposition in are ion plating process. Because hard a-C:N films prepared with suitable megative bias voltages have large compressive stress, it is difficult to increase film thickness more than 200nm. Preparing multilayer films composed of hard layers and soft layers, we can grow thick multilayer films on Si and SKH steel substrate. The total thickness of multilayer films is more than 1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The multilayer films are several times thicker than the single layer films and almost equal in hardness and internal stress to the single layer ones. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and Raman spectroscopy reveal that multilayer films equal to single layer films in structure, which is similar to the structure of DLC films.

Wear resistant TiAlN thin film has been widely deposited on the surface of cutting and forming tools by using Arc Ion Plating. TiAlN films are deposited by the processes designed by the Taguchi L18 experimental design. The L18 experimental design is applied to achieve surface properties and adhesion. The deposition parameters are working pressure, substrate temperature, bias voltage, arc power and pre-sputtering bias voltage and time. The most influential parameters on surface properties and adhesion are substrate bias voltage, working nitrogen pressure and arc power. The optimal coating processes are obtained for surface properties and adhesion.

3성분계 $Ti-C_x-N_{1-x}$ 코팅막은 AIP(Arc Ion Plating)법에 의해 -25V의 바이어스와 $300^{\circ}C$의 분위기에서 스테인리스 스틸 기판 위에 증착시켰다. $Ti-C_x-N_{1-x}$ 코팅막 안의 탄소(carbon)는 유입가스 비 $CH_4/(CH_4+N_2)$를 변화시키며 합성하였다. 탄소(carbon)가 증가함으로써, $Ti-C_x-N_{1-x}$ 코팅막의 미세경도는 TiN 코팅막의 20 GPa로부터 x=0.52에서 최대 약 32 GPa로 측정되었다. 또한, 미세구조는 잔류응력과 관련 있으며 탄소 함량에 따라 평균마찰계수가 크게 감소하였다.

Titanium nitride(TiN) films have been prepared by HCD plasma enhanced reactive ion plating. Density and temperature of the plasma generated by the HCD were investigated. It was shown that parameters such as the substrate bias voltage(0 350V) and N2 flow rate(10 180SCCM) influenced the growth, the growth, the microstructure and the color tone of the film mostly. In order to study the interface region, surface analysis by AES combined with sputter depth profiling was performed. Microhardness of the coated TiN films were measured by micro Vickers hardness tester. Also, the effect of coating parameters on composition, coating surface and fracture morphology, grain size and growth rate were examined.
