Four nitride coatings, TiN, TiAlN, AlTiN and CrAlN were deposited on YG6 (WC+6wt.% Co) cemented carbide by cathodic arc-evaporation technique. The friction and wear properties were investigated and compared using ball-on-disc method at high speed with SiC ball as a counter material. The tests were e...
