Abstract
The zirconium nitride ZrN coatings are deposited on substrates of XC100
steel using physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique. Coatings based on
nitrides of transition metals (Nb, Zr, Ti, V, ) developed by PVD are known
to increase the life of cutting tools, and so they naturally have seen a rapid
industrial growth. It is possible to produce ZrN-coatings with variations of
nitrogen partial pressure, the residual stresses, the thickness of the thin
film, and the friction coefficient depending on the nitrogen content. Usage of
nitrogen is a good way to enhance wear resistance and effectiveness in tribological
applications.
