Impact testing of duplex and non-duplex (Ti,Al)N and Cr–N PVD coatings

Structure and properties of wear resistance PVD coatings deposited onto X37CrMoV5-1 type hot work steel

“…Recently TiN/(Ti,Al)N is expected to be a promising candidate as a hard coating layer because is shown excellent properties especially for high temperature application e.g. hot work tools in plastic processing, light metals casting, hot rolling and forging tools [18][19][20][21].…”

Ti+TiN, Ti+Ti(CxN1−x), Ti+TiC PVD coatings on the ASP 30 sintered high-speed steel

“…Changes of the crystallographic orientation of the investigated coatings result from their location in respect to the magnetron disk and axis, and from the temperature influence during deposition, which in consequence, resulted in a change of the resultant energy vector, according to which condensate gets oriented. One should note, however, that the micro-hardness test results are affected by many factors, and the effect of each of them differs, depending on the coating type [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Roughness of the investigated coatings is within range of 0.03-0.08 m and demonstrates the rising trend with the increasing carbon content in coatings.…”

Repetitive impact test near uncoated and coated cutting edges for assessing their fatigue behavior

“…Impact test has been used as an efficient method for assessing cohesion, and adhesion performance of coated and uncoated parts at room and elevated temperatures [5][6][7][8][9][10]. In the described investigations, a new feature was integrated into an existing impact tester [5], enabling the accurate positioning of the cutting insert relatively to the ball indenter of the impact tester (see Fig.…”
