摘要
Micro-pillar splitting at temperatures up to 500 degrees C was used to evaluate the toughness for a series of thin physical vapour deposited ceramic-nitride coatings. When compared to ion beam notched geometries, this testing approach reduces the likelihood of ion impregnation within a material volume where fracture may initiate. A toughness increase with elevated temperature was observed for the nanostructured ceramic coatings; the magnitude of which varied between the coatings. A transmission electron microscopy investigation showed deposition specific periodic nano-layering within the films as a result of the deposition process, which may explain the observed differences in the toughness trends.
