Abstract
Coatings must be both tough and adherent to afford mechanical protection under tribological conditions. Adhesion energies of TiN protective coatings on cemented carbides produced by chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition techniques are determined using an energy formulation of the scratch test. Toughness of the coatings is determined from Hertzian indentation with flat punches; behavior of coatings under sliding Hertzian loads is considered.Keywords
