Mechanical characterisation of TiN/ZrN multi-layered coatings

Ultra-microhardness, adhesion and residual-stress analysis tests were performed on reactive sputtered deposited TiN/ZrN multi-layers. Hardness values as high as ~3600 Vickers were achieved for this material. Scratch tests of coatings deposited on steel substrates confirmed the existence of different...
