Substrate and elastic recovery effects in hardness measurement of CVD WC-based coatings
Hard coatings are used in a very broad range of applications, for example in the automotive, tooling and gas industries. The apparently simplest way to compare different coatings is to measure their hardness. However, interpreting such measurements is not a trivial problem for thin coatings (10 μm o...
