In this review, the operating principles of the nano-impact test technique are described,
compared and contrasted to micro-and macro-scale impact tests. Impact fatigue …

In this paper, recent advances in the minimum-destructive testing of the adhesion of coating-
substrate systems are reviewed, focusing on key techniques such as micro-and nano-scale …

Reciprocating micro-scale sliding tests and micro-scale repetitive impact tests were
performed with diamond probes on un-doped, Si-doped and W-doped diamond-like carbon …

Monolayer and bilayer coatings of TiAlN, AlCrN, and AlCrN/TiAlN were deposited onto
tungsten carbide inserts using the plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition process. The …

This paper evaluates the performance of TiAlN/AlCrN nano-multilayer coated, TiAlN single-
layer coated and uncoated carbide tools in low-speed milling of STAVAX (modified 420 …

Ensuring a good adhesion of the coatings to the substrate is one of the key points during the
manufacturing of machining and forming tools. The nature of the substrate material and the …

The main objective of this work was to assess and compare the structure and mechanical
properties of the TiN and TiAlN coatings deposited on a new WC-Co tool using the cathodic …

The numerical study of the fatigue behaviour of steel and light alloy substrates when coated
with thin hard coatings is limited. This paper aims to investigate the fatigue failure …

A new composite matrix was developed for a cutting tool based on tungsten carbide ligated
with cobalt (WC-Co) using sintering technique. The admixtures of niobium carbide, tantalum …

Performance of two different physical vapour deposited (PVD) TiCN and Alcrona®(AlCrN)
coatings systems is under investigation. Coatings were deposited on the punches produced …
