Structure–property–wear relationships and failure mechanisms in TiAlN, AlCrN and AlTiCrN hard coatings for cutting tool applications: A review

Hard nitride coatings are widely applied to cutting tools to improve wear resistance, thermal stability, and machining performance under severe thermo-mechanical conditions. This review critically examines TiAlN, AlCrN, and AlTiCrN coatings within a structure–property–wear–machin...
