Abstract
The composition of the interface has an effect on the adhesion between substrate and coating and on the corrosion properties of the coating. In this work, the interfaces between (Ti, Al)N and hard carbon coatings and the substrates were studied using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). By using SIMS depth profiling, the impurities on the substrate were analyzed in order to study their influence on the characteristics of the coating and the coating adhesion. Different intermediate layers used to improve the adhesion between the hard carbon film and the substrate were also studied by depth profiling.
