Abstract

In this study, the tribological and thermal properties of TiAlCN coatings were investigated to evaluate their feasibility in automobile applications. TiAlCN coatings with carbon compositions between 25 and 65 at.% were prepared by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted sputtering and were annealed at 400, 500, and $600^{\circ}C$ in air.
