This study unveils the effect of ion beam (IB) irradiation on mechanical properties and adhesion of titanium nitraide (TiN) thin films on ultrafine-grained WC-Co cemented carbide substrates. TiN thin films are used for improving wear resistance and lubricity of molds and cutting tools consisted of W...
