Microstructure Design and Tribological Properties of Cr/CrN and TiN/CrN Multilayer Films

Multilayer coatings on Cr/CrN and TiN/CrN basis were deposited by the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique at room temperature using an industrially designed 4‐beam multi‐spot PLD evaporator. Coatings were built of 2, 8, 32 and 64 layers with the total thickness of 1 μm. Microstructure was studie...

Summary:Multilayer coatings on Cr/CrN and TiN/CrN basis were deposited by the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique at room temperature using an industrially designed 4‐beam multi‐spot PLD evaporator. Coatings were built of 2, 8, 32 and 64 layers with the total thickness of 1 μm. Microstructure was studied using conventional and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM, HRTEM). Examinations revealed that layers were built of columnar crystallites. Mechanical properties were analyzed using microhardness and scratch‐test. Results showed that 8‐layered coating exhibited optimal mechanical features in examined systems.
