Abstract

This research investigates the performance enhancement of High-Speed Steel (HSS) using Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coatings applied through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) via the Arc method. The coated specimens were tested using CALO test, Rockwell Hardness, Rubber Wheel Abrasion Test, and simulations for stress and thermal behavior. TiAlN significantly improved the thermal, mechanical, and abrasive resistance of HSS, showing its potential in industrial applications where durability and precision are crucial.
