The effect of substrate bias voltages on impact resistance of CrAlN coatings deposited by modified ion beam enhanced magnetron sputtering

TLDR
In this paper, the effect of substrate negative bias voltages on the impact property of CrAlN coatings was studied and the results showed that with increasing substrate bias voltage the coatings became more compact and denser, and the microhardness and fracture toughness increased correspondingly.

Influence of substrate bias voltage on structure and properties of the CrAlN films deposited by unbalanced magnetron sputtering

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of substrate bias on deposition rate, composition, structure, morphology and properties of the CrAlN films was investigated, and it was found that the films deposited at moderate bias voltage had better mechanical and tribological properties, while the films at higher bias voltage showed better corrosion resistance.

An analysis of macroparticle-related defects on CrCN and CrN coatings in dependence of the substrate bias voltage

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of negative substrate bias voltages (10 − 300 V) on the microstructure, phase composition and morphology of the coating surface was studied, and it was shown that an increase of bias voltage causes a reduction of the areal density of macroparticles and a decrease of the mean surface roughness.
