Properties of CrAlSiN Coatings: Spectroscopic Research

Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The variation in chemical composition of a CrAlSiN coating over the depth is studied, as well as its adsorbent properties. The hardest and most wear-resistant layers lie at a depth of around 400 nm. Molecules containing oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus atoms form the strongest bonds with the coating surface. If such molecules are added to oils used with the CrAlSiN coating, the frictional properties at contact will be improved.
