For mechanically dominated load profiles, nitrides are preferred as the base material for
structural and functional hard coatings, while oxide-based materials offer better protection …

The influence of nitrogen incorporation on the chemical composition, structure, mechanical,
and electrical properties of refractory (MoNbTaVW) 1− x N x high entropy alloy thin films is …

One of the toughest challenges that hinders the application of ceramic coatings is their poor
damage tolerance. Addressing this problem requires the development of novel micro-or …

Abstract CrN/CrAlN and Cr/CrN/CrAlN multilayers were grown with dual RF magnetron
sputtering. The application of these multilayers will be wood machining of green wood. That …

Nanocrystallized Cr1− xAlxN films with various Al contents (0 to 68 at.%) were deposited by
pulsed closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering (P-CFUBMS). The effects of aluminum …

Abstract CrAlN, CrAlSiN and AlCrSiN coatings were deposited by cathodic arc deposition
technique from composite targets. Three targets were used:(i) Cr/Al ratio close to 1,(ii) Cr/Al …

This paper focuses on high-temperature tribotests of nanostructured Al–Cr-based oxynitride
and oxide coatings. Pin-on-disk tribological tests were performed at temperatures in …

CrAlN coatings were prepared on Al–Si alloys using filter cathode vacuum arc deposition
technique with nitrogen as the reactive gas and Cr 25 Al 75 alloy target as the arc source …

CrAlN is a good candidate as an alternative to conventional CrN coatings especially for high
temperature oxidation-resistance applications. Different CrAlN coatings were deposited on …

Cr–Al–N hard coatings exhibit considerable oxidation resistance due to the formation of
stable, dense α-(Al, Cr) 2O3 mixed oxide scales, which makes them promising candidates …
