This paper reports on the tribological properties of commercial Cr–N physical vapour
deposition (PVD) processes for enhanced mechanical protection of forming and machining …

Chromium nitride (CrN) coatings are increasingly being used as an alternative to titanium
nitride coatings and electroplated hard chromium in various applications. This work reports …

TiN, NbN and TiN/NbN multilayer coatings were deposited on tool steel substrates using a
reactive DC magnetron sputtering process. The coatings were characterized using X-ray …

CrN is an excellent wear and corrosion resistant material. There is much interest in the
research community to develop CrN thin films for coating tools for metal and wood …

Nanostructured TiN/NbN superlattices at various modulation wavelengths (Λ) were
deposited on silicon (111) and tool steel substrates using a reactive DC magnetron …

We show here, based on VAlN, TiAlN and the related oxynitrides, that the (brittle) fracture
and elastic properties may be consistently modelled from quantum-to continuum mechanics …

The CrSiN films with different Si contents were deposited on stainless steel and silicon
substrate (100) by reactive magnetron sputtering. The microstructures, mechanical …

In this study, various multi-layered coatings were deposited on the stainless steel substrates
by the cathodic arc deposition technique to enhance the corrosion resistance and electrical …

The present work is a contribution towards the development of new and novel low friction
coatings for automotive engine cam and cam follower components. A series of hardened …

Plastic processing is an enormous and expanding commercial sector. Injection molding and
extrusion are common techniques for worldwide efficient mass production of plastic …
