This first-of-its-kind book captures the latest developments in the toughening of hard coatings and in the measurement of the toughness of thin films and coatings. It presents the current status of hard-yet-tough ceramic coatings, reviews various toughness evaluation methods for films and hard coatings, explores the toughness and toughening mechanisms of porous thin films and laser-treated surfaces, examines adhesions of the film/substrate interface and the characterization of coating adhesion strength, and discusses nanoindentation determination of fracture toughness, resistance to cracking, and sliding contact fracture phenomena.…mehr
