Microscale friction and wear/scratch

Multilayer coatings or hlms have been proven to be successful in various applications, especially for wear protection. In multilayer systems, the intrinsic stress can be effectively reduced by designing interface number and composite materials in terms of the application and process technique. Therefore, the multilayer technique by which a specihe functional composite is able to approach received more attention for many years [17,18]. Here we introduce the results on microscale friction and scratch of DLC/DLC and Fe-N/TiN multilayers.
