  2. 1. Theoretical understanding of stability of alloys for hard-coating applications and design

    Author : Hans Lind; Igor Abrikosov; Ferenc Tasnádi; Ralf Drautz; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The performance of modern hard coating materials puts high demands on properties such as hardness, thermal stability and oxidation resistance. These properties not only depend on the chemical composition, but also on the structure of the material on a nanoscale. READ MORE
