The effect of heat treatment on the mechanical, tribological and load-carrying properties of PACVD-coated tool steel

The limited load-carrying capacity of tool steels greatly restricts the use of hard coatings in forming applications. This can, however, be improved by increasing the substrate's hardness, but especially for hot forging, the fracture toughness and resistance to cracking are equally important. T...
