High Temperature Deformation of AlN/CrN Multilayers using Nanoindentation

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the deformation behaviour of an AlN/CrN multilayer with wavelengths varying from 6–400 nm, deposited on M42 tool steel and how this varies as the temperature is increased to 500 °C. These measurements have been correlated with changes in deformation patterns using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, where sections have been prepared directly through the indents.
