Oxygen-driven shell-like microstructure: a pathway to high-performance PVD Cr coatings for metal protection

Abstract Chromium (Cr) coatings, known for their corrosion resistance and luster, often suffer from coarse columnar grains when fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD), limiting their performance. This study employs high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) with oxygen doping (8.3 at.%)...
