Abstract
In the present paper, mechanical properties of monolayer coatings were investigated. Particularly, an analytical model was considered to characterize the mechanical properties of TiN thin film deposited on Zr60Ni10Cu20Al10 substrate. As a results, the elastic modulus of the TiN thin films is equal to 415.6 GPa. Based on numerical confrontation results, the limit of the considered model was observed for the soft thin film on hard substrate. The main error is caused by a wrong estimation of the contact surface Ac between the indenter tip and the film surface. Hence, the response to the nanoindentation test is quite influenced by the presence of the substrate for thin hard film.
