On the interplay between microstructure, residual stress and fracture toughness of (Hf-Nb-Ta-Zr)C multi-metal carbide hard coatings
The development of sputtered coatings with improved hardness-toughness property combination is widely sought after. Multi-element ceramic carbide (Hf-Nb-Ta-Zr)C coatings with excess carbon, synthesized by DC co-sputtering is presented in this study as a promising candidate to achieve this objective....
