Episode 104 of the Professor Alex Volinsky podcast. CrN is a workhorse hard coating, and nitrogen flow is the control knob: too little gives Cr metal, more gives Cr2N, more gives stoichiometric cubic CrN, each with its own hardness and stress. No numbers from this paper are claimed. Based on the paper: Nitrogen Effects on Structure, Mechanical and Thermal Fracture Properties of CrN Films; Y. He, K. Gao, H. Yang, X. Pang, A.A. Volinsky; Ceramics International, 2021, Vol. 47(21), pp. 30729-30740. Hosts Elena and Marcus. AI-generated voices.
