Degradation of Ion–Plasma Nitride Coatings at Different Scale Levels under Frictional Wear Conditions

Abstract In tribological tests of coatings, cyclic loads enable to evaluate the relationships between their wear, the kinetics of the initiation and propagation of cracks, as well as fatigue failure. For such purposes, a concept of degradation at different scale levels was develo...
