What is Microstructural Design of Hard Coatings about?
Microstructural design has attracted increasing interest in modern development of hard coatings for wear-resistant applications. In plasma-assisted vapor deposited thin films, the material’s microstructure can be designed during growth or post-deposition annealing treatments. In this review, we demonstrate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical as well as tribological properties of hard ceramic coatings. This is done for single-phase coatings and composition or phase modulated layers. In the latter case, the microstructure can be designed by choice of the deposition technique chosen, understanding the growth processes taking place on a film surface, either by sequential deposition of layers or by taking advantage of newly discovered self-organization processes including segregation effects of the elements. Consequently, the effects of individual microstructural features like grain size, defect density (and hence residual stress), phase arrangements in a one-, two- or three-dimensional manner on the mechanical properties are treated. Here, especially TiN–TiB2 is used as a model system to describe the development of two- and three-dimensional coating nanostructures. Du
