Combinatorial Sampling and Wear Behavior of Cr-Al-C-N Coatings Deposited by HiPIMS

CrAlN PVD coatings are frequently used to protect cutting tools because of their superior hardness and wear resistance. However, the influence of carbon addition to such coatings remains largely unexplored. Therefore, Cr-Al-C-N coatings were deposited by HiPIMS using a commercial...
