Vanadium Alloyed PVD CrAlN Coatings for Friction Reduction in Metal Forming Applications

Hard coatings deposited on forming tools are used to improve the forming process and to increase tool life. The decrease of tool wear and reduction of friction are the main motivations for the development of self-lubricating coatings for forming applications at elevated temperatures. In the present...
