Investigations of the morphology and microstructure of hybrid coatings, as well as of their phase composition were carried out. The studies on mechanical properties included tests on hardness and Young’s modulus using the nanoindentation method. Tests on adhesion were conducted using the scratch-test method. Tribological properties of the obtained coatings were evaluated by the pin-on-disc method. Resistance to corrosion was determined by electrochemical methods. It was shown that hybrid coatings of the Cr/CrN type are characterized by good adhesion to the substrate and very good tribological properties, as well as by very good resistance to corrosion in a solution containing chlorine ions.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Properties of tool steel with Cr/CrN type hybrid coatings, obtained by PVD method}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110164/PDF/AMM-2019-1-42-Kasprzycka.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.126251}, keywords={hybrid coating, PVD treatment, wear, corrosion}, }
