Anisotropy effects on microstructure and properties in decomposed arc evaporated Ti1-xAlxN coatings during metal cutting

Significant elastic anisotropy in Ti1-xAlxN alloys

Thermal stability and mechanical properties of arc evaporated Ti–Al–Zr–N hard coatings

a r t i c l e i n f o Based on previous reports, showing that zirconium alloying to Ti 1 − x Al x N hard coatings can increase their thermal stability, we study in detail the interaction of bias potential and Al content on structure, hardness, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance of arc evaporated Ti 1 − x − y Al x Zr y N hard coatings. For moderate Al-contents, Ti 0.49 Al 0.44 Zr 0.07 N...

Mechanical properties and thermal stability of reactive arc evaporated Ti-Cr-Al-N coatings

This licentiate thesis reports experimental and theoretical work on the high temperature mechanical properties and the thermal stability of cubic (c)-(Ti-Cr-Al)1-N1 coatings. It is demonstrated that it is possible to tailor and improve the properties of hard nitride coatings by different degrees of multicomponent alloying. When Cr is added to Ti-Al-N the coatings exhibit age hardening up to 100...
