“…It was revealed that a number of multilayer structures with varied compositions between sublayers improved the mechanical properties. The interface/superlattice structures between two alternate layers in this case impede the mobility of plastic deformation, acting as dislocation gliding barriers [61,62]. Xiao et al [63], for example, achieved a maximum hardness of 38.3 GPa and an elastic modulus of 463.7 GPa, as well as the highest thermal stability (up to 1000 °C ) and wear resistance at 800 °C , for the AlCrN/TiAlSiN multilayer compared to single-layer coatings.…”

Hard and wear-resistant coatings created utilizing physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques are extensively used in extreme tribological applications. The friction and wear behavior of coatings vary significantly with temperature, indicating that advanced coating concepts are essential for prolonged load-bearing applications. Many coating concepts have recently been explored in this area, including multicomponent, multilayer, gradient coatings; high entropy alloy (HEA) nitride; and functionally modified coatings. In this review, we highlighted the most significant findings from ongoing research to comprehend crucial coating properties and design aspects. To obtain enhanced tribological properties, the microstructure, composition, residual stress, hardness, and HT oxidation resistance are tuned through doping or addition of appropriate materials at an optimized level into the primary coatings. Such improvements are achieved by optimizing PVD process parameters such as input power, partial pressure, reactive gas flow rates, substrate bias, and temperature. The incorporation of ideal amounts of Si, Cr, Mo, W, Ag, and Cu into ternary and quaternary coatings, as well as unique multilayer designs, considerably increases the tribological performance of the coatings. Recent discoveries show that not only mechanical hardness and fracture toughness govern wear resistance, but also that oxidation at HT plays a significant role in the lubrication or wear failure of coatings. The tribo-induced metal oxides and/or Magnéli phases concentrated in the tribolayer are the key governing factors of friction and wear behavior at high temperatures. This review includes detailed insights into the advancements in wear resistance as well as various failure mechanisms associated with temperature changes.

“…Because it has been found as a result of experimental studies that bilayer coatings exhibit more advantages than monolayer coatings [25,26]. It has been observed that bilayer coatings show higher toughness compared to monolayer coatings, the structures between the layers show a protective barrier effect from corrosion, and an increase in wear resistance is achieved by increasing hardness [27]. One of the most used structures in studies on bilayer protective coatings, which is preferred to be used together with TiO 2 structure, is SiO 2 [28].…”

In this study, using commercial pure titanium (Cp-Ti) samples, monolayer TiO2, and bilayer TiO2-SiO2 coatings were produced. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of monolayer and bilayer coatings on corrosion and tribocorrosion behaviors of the preferred Cp-Ti material which is preferred especially in applications such as dental implants at different temperatures in simulated body fluid (SBF). XRD and SEM were used for the structural characterization of the coatings. Then, the adhesion strengths of monolayer and bilayer coatings were investigated. Corrosion and tribocorrosion performances of the coatings were carried out at different temperatures due to the change in oral environment temperature due to hot food and drinking consumption. Adhesion strengths corrosion and tribocorrosion performances of untreated, monolayer, and bilayer Cp-Ti samples were examined, and the best performance was seen in the bilayer coatings.

“…This is because the electroless nickel interlayer effectively fills the graphite holes on the surface of ductile iron, resulting in increased adhesion of the ceramic hard film to the substrate and improved surface properties. Additionally, several studies have also explored the performance of various multilayer coatings, showing the positive effects of surface modification [25][26][27][28][29].…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of varying bias parameters (−50 V, −100 V, and −150 V) on the properties of TiN/CrN multilayer films deposited on Ti-6Al-4V alloy using the cathodic arc deposition (CAD) technique. The deposited films were characterized for their composition, structure, morphology, thickness, adhesion, and hardness. Wear and polarization tests were also conducted to determine the optimal bias condition for wear and corrosion resistance. The results showed that the TiN/CrN films possessed a nano-multilayered structure comprising TiN and CrN phases. The hard coating significantly increased the surface hardness of Ti-6Al-4V alloy up to three–five times. The coated specimens demonstrated superior wear resistance compared to the uncoated, with the −150 V specimen exhibiting the least wear rate. Furthermore, the −150 V specimen had the highest polarization impedance value, indicating the best corrosion resistance compared to the other bias conditions. In short, the use of CAD-coated TiN/CrN multilayer film enhanced the surface properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, with the best wear and corrosion resistance achieved at −150 V bias. These novel findings have significant implications for improving the performance and durability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy components in various industrial applications.
