A tungsten carbide insert (cutting tool) is to be coated with a nanofilm to enhance its hardness so that it can be used to machine harder materials. Please answer the following: 1. Is the problem fully defined? What assumptions would you make before you proceed with selection of coating material? 2. Which coating material would you recommend and why? 3. Identify at least two competing processes that could be used for synthesizing the coating.
