Influence of Si content and nitrided layer on the tribocorrosion behavior of CrAlSiN coatings

Key Points

• Tribocorrosion behavior shows significant changes with varying silicon content in coatings.
• The study indicates that the nitrided layer contributes positively to the durability of CrAlSiN coatings under wear conditions.
• Analysis included various formulations of CrAlSiN coatings created in a controlled environment.
• Improved understanding of tribocorrosion may enable the development of more durable coatings for industrial applications.
