Structure and Tribological Properties of TiN/DLC, CrN/DLC, TiAlCN/DLC, AlTiCN/DLC and AlCrTiN/DLC Hybrid Coatings on Tool Steel. [PDF]
In view of the need to increase the durability of working tools exposed to intense friction, this study analysed hybrid coatings (TiAlCN, AlTiCN, AlCrTiN, TiN, CrN) with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) layer, deposited using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) methods (arc evaporation and magnetron sputtering).
