Abstract
The phase composition, structure, and properties of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS)-compacted materials of the Ti-C-Al-Si system are investigated. It is shown that metal-like titanium compounds can be used as cathodes for vacuum-arc evaporators. The coatings fabricated from SHS cathodes are single-phase and represent cubic titanium nitride of the (Ti, Al, Si)N composition. The volume of a microdrop phase in them is smaller by a factor of 2.5–3.0 as compared with TiN, while their microstructure is not fragmented into low-strength columnar elements; the CSR size is twice smaller than that of titanium nitride. Being approximately identically hard, the (Ti, Al, Si)N coatings substantially surpass TiN coatings in elastic and plastic failure resistance due to the lower elasticity modulus. When milling the tungsten-copper alloy, the hardness of hard-alloy milling cutters with the (Ti, Al, Si)N coating is higher by a factor of 2.4 than with the TiN coating fabricated from the titanium cathode with the magnetic plasma flow separation.
