Abstract:The present study is focused on the design, deposition and characterization of nanoscale multilayer TiCN/ZrCN coatings obtained by cathodic-arc PVD technique. The multilayer coatings with the bilayer period’s thickness of 12 nm, 20 nm and 32 nm were deposited on stainless steel and high-speed steel substrates at temperature of 320°C in a mixture of N2 and CH4 gases. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, was employed to investigate the top surface morphology, cross-sec… Show more
