The current review aims to provide an overview on the research performed with vanadium
containing nitride hard coatings. Such coatings were synthesised with the objective of …

The aim of this work was to investigate mechanical and cutting properties, as well as the
nature of wear and failure of carbide cutting tools with modifying coatings of two types: nano …

Friction and wear take place on two solid surfaces in sliding contact as a result of the
mechanical, thermal, and chemical interactions with the participation of environmental …

A 3 μm thick superlattice structured TiAlN/VN coating has been deposited by the steered
cathodic arc/unbalanced magnetron sputtering technique. The coating has been tested in …

Machining of aluminum and its alloy is very difficult due to the adhesion and diffusion of
aluminum, thus the formation of built-up edge (BUE) on the surface. The BUE, which affects …

V-containing nitride coatings recently attract a wide range of research interests owing to their
excellent tribological properties. To evaluate their comprehensive properties, a comparative …

The introduction of pulsed magnetron sputtering in the mid-90s initiated a new and exciting
era in surface engineering technologies, which continues to develop. Pulsed sputtering …

The current study evidentially brings out an interesting finding that the chemically inert
microcrystalline diamond (MCD) coating having sp 3 hybridized C–C network could produce …

Quality of any machined products is directly influenced by the condition of cutting tools. Wear
resistant coatings are found to be compelling in enhanced properties and performance of …

A review of the experimental results of studying multicomponent nanocomposite protective
coatings of various chemical compositions (TiAlCrYN, TiAlSiBN, TiAlSiCuN, CrTiAlSiN, and …
