PVD technologies, including vacuum arc evaporation and DC-magnetron sputtering, have been utilized in industrial settings since the early 1980s for depositing protective coatings. These coatings encompass a range of materials such as metal nitrides, carbonitrides, oxides, oxynitrides, DLC, serving diverse applications cutting forming tools, automotive components, decoration. Vacuum generates highly energized ionized particle flux toward substrate, while “classical” gas-ion-dominated direct...
AlCr-based hard nitride coatings with different chemical compositions and architectures have been successfully developed applied over the last few decades. Coating properties are mainly influenced by deposition conditions Al/Cr content. The fcc structure is dominant for an Al-content up to Al0.7Cr0.3N preferred most cutting applications. Different (AlCrX)N alloying concepts, including X = Si, W, B, V, investigated in order enhance oxidation resistance wear behaviour provide tribological...
AlTiN and CrN coatings were deposited in hybrid DOMINO platforms by magnetron sputtering (DC-MS, DC-MS+HCP-MS, HCP-MS) vacuum arc evaporation. The ion cleaning was done the AEGD process. coating rates energy efficiency of both deposition processes compared. roughness effects different types discussed. Preliminary results change pulse characteristics during simultaneously running HCP-MS plus evaporation are shown.
