Annealing effects on microstructural, optical, and mechanical properties of sputtered CrN thin film coatings: Experimental studies and finite element modeling

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Chromium nitride (CrN) coatings were deposited by magnetron sputtering onto Si(100) substrates. The coatings were then annealed at different temperatures (500–800 °C in steps of 100 °C) in air for 1 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),...
