Abstract

Tool inserts were generally used in the field of machining to cut steel and aluminum material. The consumer’s demand the industry asked to get quality cutting tool long time use. The quality tool could reduce production costs, increase productivity since the turn of the tool is not often done. This study examined the effect of oxide Al2O3 + TiO2 as a layer to the hardness value tool. This study used SEM to see the micro structural properties of the topography and morphology of the oxide particles. The area, the distribution and the average diameter of the particles in the PSA program analysis using Image-J. Results, topography, and morphology of the particles can determine the hardness value tool. Weight TiO2 oxide in the coating can determine the hardness value tool. Particle size analysis has an average accuracy of 32.93% when using PSA, compared to theoretically calculate.
