hybrid coatings methods. The chromium electroplating and plasma nitriding was employed
to obtained proper chromium nitride thin film. Chromium crack-free coating was obtained by
an electroplating method using 30 A/dm 2 within 15 min and plasma nitriding was applied at
600° C for 8 h. Cr 2 N is the determined phase on the surface of the substrate and surface
microhardness reaches 1109 HV 0.25. Pin on disk test was conducted and the average …
