Fracture toughness and structural evolution in the TiAlN system upon annealing

Abstract Hard coatings used to protect engineering components from external loads and harsh environments should ideally be strong and tough. Here we study the fracture toughness, K IC, of Ti1−xAlxN upon annealing by employing micro-fracture experiments on freestanding films. We found that K IC incre...
