Effect of Bias Voltage and Cr/Al Content on the Mechanical and Scratch Resistance Properties of CrAlN Coatings Deposited by DC Magnetron Sputtering Open
Chromium–aluminum nitride (CrAlN) coatings were deposited on polished H13 tool steel substrates using direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The Cr/Al composition in the target was varied by inserting either four or eight chromium (Cr) …
