Experimental and numerical analyses were conducted to explore the influence of DLC/TiAlN-
coated die surfaces in sheet-metal forming under dry and oil-lubricated conditions. In this …

Multilayer architecture is an effective method to tailor the microstructure and properties of
wear resistance coatings. Here, the CrN insertion layer is introduced into TiAlN coating to …

Abstract In this work, AlTiN/TiSiN and AlCrN/TiSiN multilayer coatings were deposited by arc
ion plating on Al 2 O 3 and cemented carbide substrates. The oxidation resistances of the …

Design of hard ceramic material coatings with enhanced toughness, which prevents crack
formation/propagation leading to brittle failure during application, is a primary industrial …

The influence of pulsed substrate bias duty cycle on the growth, microstructure, and defects
of Ti 1-x Al x N coatings grown by cathodic arc deposition was investigated. Ti 1-x Al x N …

Metastable c‐AlxT1− xN is an important and well‐established hard coating in the tool
industry. To improve the mechanical and thermal properties, Al‐rich c‐AlxTi1− xN coatings …

In this research, a fundamental study was conducted on damage behavior of cathodic arc
evaporated TiN and Ti 0.44 Al 0.56 N coatings, in terms of oxidation and cracking/spallation …

Hard Ti 1− x Al x N thin films are of importance for metal-cutting applications. The hardness,
thermal stability, and oxidation resistance of these coatings can be further enhanced by …

Aspects on the phase stability and mechanical properties of nitrogen deficient (Ti 0.54 Al
0.46) N y alloys were investigated. Solid solution alloys of (Ti, Al) N were grown by cathodic …

Abstract Nitrogen deficient c-(Ti 0.52 Al 0.48) N y, y= 0.92, y= 0.87, and y= 0.75 coatings
were prepared in different N 2/Ar discharges on WC-Co inserts by reactive cathodic arc …
