The influence of residual stress on the properties and performance of thick TiAlN multilayer coating during dry turning of compacted graphite iron

TiAlN is one of the most widely used physical vapour deposition (PVD) coatings in the manufacturing industry. Naturally, the performance of this coating is dependent on its properties, which can be tuned and optimized according to the application. Residual stress is one of the properties which affects hardness, fracture toughness, and adhesion of the coating. Although it is difficult to make a general recommendation for desirable residual …
