Coatings structures

Influance of the Si contant on the coating microstructure

Fractography AlCrN coating

Fractography, AlCrN/SiN coating

Fractography AlCrN/SiN coating

Si addition changes microstructure from columnar to isotropic
Effect analogous to the Ti-based system
In TiAlN/SiN less Si is needed to reach glassy structure

Fractography, AlTiN/Sin Coating
