Dry sliding wear resistance of nanomultilayered TiN/CrN coatings has been evaluated using a ball-on-disk tribometer and compared with TiN and CrN monolayered references. The significant extend of lifetime of the nanostratified coatings is explained by a particular stress field generated in the whole thickness and a degradation model is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
