The Multilayer CrN/CrAlN film was deposited on the SS420 substrate by cathodic arc evaporation technique. The effect of substrate bias‐voltage was investigated on the microstructure, surface morphology, and mechanical and electrochemical corrosion properties of the deposited film. The deposited CrN/CrAlN coatings were characterized by XRD and FESEM techniques. Mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and surface morphology of the coated samples were studied by nano‐indentation, polarization method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy, respectively. Adhesive and dense nanostructure CrN and CrAlN phases were successfully deposited on the substrate. The refinement of the coating crystallite was observed from 31.2 to 24.3 nm by increasing the substrate bias voltage, this improved the mechanical properties of the coating. The number of macroparticles, the number of pinholes and porosities, and the surface roughness of coatings significantly decreased by increasing the substrate bias voltage. The CrN/CrAlN coating reduced the corrosion current density in contrast to the SS420 substrate. Better corrosion resistance was obtained for the coating deposited at 150 V of bias voltage due to lower defects in the film structure.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

“…The increased scientific interest in nanoscale multilayer coatings in recent years is due to the excellent physical and mechanical properties, shown by such structures and unusual for their individual components [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Multilayer systems are characterised by considerably improved mechanical and tribologicl properties tо those of single layer coatings [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

The present study is focused on the design, deposition and characterization of nanoscale multilayer TiCN/ZrCN coatings obtained by cathodic-arc PVD technique. The multilayer coatings with the bilayer period’s thickness of 12 nm, 20 nm and 32 nm were deposited on stainless steel and high-speed steel substrates at temperature of 320°C in a mixture of N2 and CH4 gases. Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, was employed to investigate the top surface morphology, cross-sectional morphology, bilayer thickness and structure of the coatings. Mechanical properties were investigated via Calotester, Nanoindentation tester, Scratch tester and Tribometer. The SEM/EDS cross-sectional analysis revealed a columnar morphology and well expressed multi-layered periodic structure. All the multilayer samples demonstrated an increase in hardness and well fracture resistance ability in comparison to TiCN and ZrCN monolayer coatings. The highest nanohardness of 41GPa and better wear resistance for the coatings with bilayer period of 12 nm was determined. The results of the study show that a reduction in the thickness of the individual sub-layers has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the coatings.
