Fracture Properties of α– and ĸ–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Hard Coatings Deposited by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Although α– and κ–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> hard coatings deposited by chemical vapor deposition are well established in the metal-cutting industry for their ability to increase the performance and lifetime of cutting tools, the literature on their fracture properties is sc...

description Although α– and κ–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> hard coatings deposited by chemical vapor deposition are well established in the metal-cutting industry for their ability to increase the performance and lifetime of cutting tools, the literature on their fracture properties is scarce. Thus, within this study, the microstructure and mechanical properties of α– and κ–Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> coatings were investigated and compared to each other.
