Abstract

The tools used in different manufacturing processes, such as milling, turning, drilling, etc., experience a significant amount of mechanical forces with rising temperatures during machining operations. They undergo various modes of damage and failures depending on their chemistry/metallurgy and surface structures. Therefore, various types of hard, textured and solid lubricant-based coatings are usually deposited on their surface in order to improve hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability, and lubrication and thereby enhance their life span. Here, in this paper, we will provide a critical review on different tool coatings used along with their texture geometries and solid lubricating properties. Initially, we will provide an overview on the basics of the tool coatings and their properties. Then, we will provide current status and future prospects of textured and solid-lubricated tool coatings.
