FAILURE MODES OF PVD COATINGS IN MOLTEN Al-ALLOY CONTACT

This paper deals with a study of the failure mode of thin PVD coatings in alternated contact with molten aluminum alloy. CrN and ZrN monolayer coatings deposited through cathodic arc evaporation were used. The coatings morphology was assessed by SEM and their mechanical properties evaluated by nano...
