Abstract

TiN, ZrN, and CrN films were grown by reactive magnetron sputtering on WC-Co sintered hard alloy substrates. Hardness and elastic modulus were measured by nano-indentation tester with low load on tip at 200 mgf. Hardness values were shown the higher value the thinner film thickness due to stress in the films.
