“…Plastic deformation of deposited surface also depends on the value of strain hardening exponent (see Table 1), and as we can see, multilayer Cr 2 O 3 /TiAlN coating (0.46) has a higher value of n compare to single‐layer Cr 2 O 3 coating (0.33). Higher attributes of fracture toughness, that is, H i /E c (resistance to wear) and
(resistance to plastic deformation) also, confirm the resistance of deformation and wear of the coating
42–44 . Further, the ratio of elastic modulus was also determined to evaluate the wear of the coated surface.…”
