摘要:
Improved properties of aluminum oxide water layers on cemented carbides and related substrates can be obtained by having the outermost alumina layer in the form of kappa-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 deposited on a kappa-modification layer.
摘要:
Improved properties of aluminum oxide wear layers on cemented carbides and related substrates can be obtained by combining the two alumina polymorphs (.alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and kappa-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) as multilayers. The nucleation of .alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and particularly kappa-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 can be controlled by means of modification layers. According to this invention, it is thus possible to CVD-deposit an oxide multicoating layer consisting of clearly specified layers of .alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and kappa-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3. Preferably, .alpha.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 is deposited first by CVD on a TiC coated cemented carbide substrate followed by the said coating layer of kappa-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.
