The influence of coating cracking and debonding on the hardness of coated systems

<p>The indentation response of a series of filtered cathodic arc-deposited TiN, TiCN, CrN and ZrN coatings on M2 tool steel substrates was studied. Indentation tests were performed using Vickers microhardness tester and the Nanoindenter II™, and examined in secondary and backscattered electron...
