Abstract Physical Vapor Deposited (PVD) TiAlN coatings are extensively utilized as protective layers for cutting tools, renowned for their excellent comprehensive performance. To optimize quality control of TiAlN coatings for cutting tools, a multi-scale simulation approach is proposed that encompasses the microstructure evolution of coatings considering the entire preparation and service lifecycle of PVD TiAlN coatings. This scheme employs phase-field simulation to capture the essential microstructure of the PVD-prepared TiAlN coatings. Moreover, cutting simulation is used to determine the service temperature experienced during cutting processes at varying rates. Cahn-Hilliard modeling is finally utilized to consume the More >
