Effect of interlayer design on the mechanical properties of AlTiCrN and multilayered AlTiCrN/TiSiN hard coatings

The adhesion strength and mechanical properties of hard coatings on substrates can be improved by adding an interlayer, which is also known as an adhesion, buffer, or seed layer. Cathodic-arc deposition (CAD) of hard coating often results in residual stresses, and the optimized design of the hard co...
