“…The cumulative distribution functions for the microhardness values of the coatings with changes in the Weibull modulus are shown in Fig. 11, which reveals a bi-modal behavior which is related to the well and partially melted zones in the structures of the coatings, as has been established previously by other authors [4,[46][47][48][49][50]. The microhardness values for conventional mono-modal coatings, as well as those calculated from the rule of mixtures for the bi-modal structured samples, are presented in Table 3.…”
