Quality evaluation of PVD coatings on cutting tools by micro-blasting

Sandvik Coromant in Gimo is in need of a good quality evaluation method of adhesion for PVD layers; since the existing testing method is located in Sandvik Coromant’s other location in Västberga. Different micro-blasting methods were investigated in this thesis and the results show that some of the methods could potentially be used for evaluation of adhesion, more specifically the wet blasting methods, M1 and M2. The results also show that the investigated geometry received varying adhesion quality when lower etching bias in the PVD process was used and when different sides was pointing upwards in the PVD furnace. Further investigation will have to be made in order to fully implement micro-blasting as a testing method in production.
