This article deals with the potential to reduce the amount of the residual stresses in the diamond films on cemented carbide inserts for improving their effective interfacial fatigue strength and thus their wear resistance. In this context, nano-crystalline diamond coatings (NCD) were deposited on cemented carbide inserts. A portion of these coated tools were annealed in vacuum for decreasing the amount of residual stresses in the film structure. The annealing temperature was appropriately selected for keeping the substrate strength properties invariable after the coating annealing. Inclined impact tests at ambient temperature on the untreated and heat-treated diamond coated tools were conducted for evaluating their effective interfacial fatigue strength. Depending upon the impact load, after a certain number of impacts, damages in the film-substrate interface develop, resulting in coating detachment and lifting. Via appropriate FEM (Finite Element Method)-evaluation of the impact imprints, the residual stresses in the diamond film structure were determined. Milling experiments were conducted for evaluating the cutting performance of the coated tools using aluminum foam as workpiece material. A correlation between the interfacial fatigue strength of diamond coatings and their residual stresses affected by annealings contributed to the explanation of the attained cutting results.
