Titanium Diboride Electrodeposited Coatings

Abstract

A method of electrodepositing titanium diboride from a low temperature fused salt bath is described. Several applications including the coating of tools are presented. Tests have been run on these tools. A statistical analysis of this data shows a significant increase in tool life in drills, inserts, and end mills when coated with 0.3 mil of TiB2, especially when used on fiberglass workpieces. Cost comparisons for selected production machining operations are presented and show that significant overall savings, including tool costs and labor costs for setup and operation, can be realized through the use of tools coated with electrodeposited TiB2. A laser protection application and an erosion protection application are described.
