However, after unloading, unbalance of high compressive stress (4.74 and 4.83 GPa) in CrCN and CrSiCN (0.97 at.%) coatings initiated cracks parallel to the indenter edge.
Both the solutions were supplied simultaneously and in parallel during the deposition of the coatings.
For the mesocosms, a novel device was developed that permits parallel quantification of a multitude of coatings under defined conditions with varying degrees of shear stress.
In parallel with the development of nanoparticle coatings for protection of paper substrates, detailed descriptions of the surface topography with micro- to nanoscale roughness features are needed.
The coatings presented a crystallographic direction parallel to the substrate.
Parallel to CVD the development of PVD coatings started in the 1980s.
Parallel to the morphological improvement in the coatings, the samples exhibited an improved corrosion performance.
In parallel the structure and deposition mechanisms of DLC coatings were extensively studied.
The tensile loading was applied in both directions parallel and perpendicular to the lamellar plane of the coatings.
However, also in these coatings microstructural changes as densification and in parallel formation of large pores have been observed.
