Features of self‐organization in nanostructuring PVD coatings on a base of polyvalent metal nitrides under severe tribological conditions

Abstract Applications of quaternary nitride nanomultilayered coatings result in a significant improvement in tool life as well as wear behavior of ball nose end mills under conditions of high‐speed machining of hardened steels. Features of self‐organization in the nanostructuring monolayer (Al 67 Ti 33 )N and nanolaminate multilayer (AlCrTi)N/(CrN, WN or NbN) physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings have been investigated under severe …
