Influence of N₂ Flow Rate on Mechanical and Tribological Properties of TAlN Coatings Deposited on 300M Substrate and Nitrocarburized Layer by Shiwei Zuo, Qinghua Li, Zhehang Fan, Xiaoyong Tao, Xiangjie Wang, Hui Xie, Qianqian Shen, Tianshi Jia, Hongyan Wu

“…The coatings were fabricated under three N₂ flow rates (30, 90, and 150 sccm), with microstructure evolution, elemental composition, and phase transitions analyzed using SEM, EDS, AFM, and XRD. The results indicate that the PNC/TiAlN composite coatings exhibited superior interfacial adhesion and load-bearing capacity compared to standalone TiAlN coatings, attributed to the graded hardness transition and stress distribution optimization at the coating–substrate interface. …”
