Abstract

Chromium oxynitride-based thin films have been developed for application as hard coatings on cutting tools. In this work, the hardening mechanisms of crystalline solids were examined and a variety of thin films were fabricated based on these mechanisms. Methods of controlling the compositions of such films as well as the resulting microstructures and properties are discussed.
