Performance-based selection of cathodic-arc PVD TiAlN and AlCrN coatings for SR34 piston-ring steel: Tribological, tribocorrosion and thermal assessment

Piston rings operate under severe sliding conditions, high temperatures, and corrosive environments, making surface degradation a critical factor affecting engine durability. This study presents a comparative evaluation of cathodic-arc physical vapor deposition (CA-PVD) TiAlN and...
