Performance of two different physical vapour deposited (PVD) TiCN and Alcrona® (AlCrN) coatings systems is under investigation. Coatings were deposited on the punches produced from the Böhler S390 Microclean steel. Two different surface preparation techniques were used – wet polishing (high surface roughness) and dry polishing (low surface roughness).Industrial trials of PVD coated punches in fine blanking operation were performed and studied. Wear of punches was analysed in regard to the punch geometry, position in the die and surface roughness, and measured after maximum 100,000 cycles at high loads.Punches with higher surface roughness seem to withstand numerous loading cycles with some traces of coating delamination and wear. On the other hand performance of PVD coatings with smaller surface roughness in a striking way was much worse.Comparative trials of the coatings surface fatigue wear and indentation surface fatigue testing were performed in the laboratory as well. In surface fatigue wear testing coatings were dynamically indented by ball (spherical) indenters made from conventional hardmetal (WC-6 wt.%). Testing parameters were identical to those of industrial trials. The Vickers diamond pyramid indenter was cyclically pressed with 500 N load at single point during indentation surface fatigue testing. Results are in agreement with surface fatigue wear tests results.Finally the microstructural investigations using SEM and XRD techniques were performed for better understanding of the surface fatigue and wear mechanisms during fine blanking process.Results of both trials are in good agreement and allow predicting performance of coatings.
