Abstract

This article reviews the process of nitride-based coatings obtained by physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and thermal spraying techniques. The merits and demerits of coating methods are discussed. Finally, modern developments and new possibilities for coating manufacturers to produce films with improved wear performance are briefly discussed.
