Ternary single and gradient layer (Cr, Ni) N thin films were deposited on the mild steel substrate by unbalanced magnetron sputtering technique in order to evaluate mechanical properties for machine tools and automotive applications. Microstructure, chemical composition, surface morphology and phase...
