      Tribological behavior of CrN and Al-Cr-N coatings 

      Demas, N. G.; Polycarpou, A. A.; Polychronopoulou, K.; Rebholz, Claus (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 1678, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Demas, N. G.Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, United States, 2009)
      The tribological behavior of CrN and Al-Cr-N coatings prepared by twin electron-beam evaporation at 450°C was investigated. The composition, structure, mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings were determined ...
