The wide range of applications of wood are due to its strength properties. The mechanical
properties of wood in various parts or directions are different. The complex structure of wood …

The paper presents a study on the performances of innovative coatings for steel cutting tools
in machining wood. A series of steel tools with different surface modifications, such as …

The condition of the cutting tool is one of the most important factors as it directly affects the
technological and economic efficiencies of the woodworking process. The large variety of …

The paper presents mechanical and tribological properties of CrCN/CrN and CrCN/CrN+ ta-
C multilayer coatings. Tetrahedral carbon (ta-C) layer formed using the pulse cathodic arc …

The aim of the study is to apply a plasma nitriding process to the 90CrMoV8 steel commonly
employed in wood machining, and to determine its efficiency to improve both mechanical …

The paper presents the effect of nitrogen ion implantation on the tool life of the tools
commonly used in the furniture industry for drilling particleboards. Nitrogen ions with …

The aim of this work is to characterize the rolling and rolling-sliding contact fatigue failure
mechanisms on the 32CrMoV13 nitrided steel. During rolling contact fatigue tests (RCF), two …

Here, the effect of adhesion of CrN hard coatings on modified 42CrMo4 steel substrate is
presented. Modifications of the substrate are shot peening, nitriding, shot peening, and …

The present concerns surface modification of low alloy CrMoV steel by following the route of
plasma nitriding for the improvement of hardness. Plasma nitriding was performed at a low …

The aim of this study is to optimise the application of duplex treatments by modifying the
nitriding conditions and using a new kind of PVD coating like ZrBN compound. The influence …
