TiSiCN composite coatings with different C contents were prepared on Cr buffer layer by plasma‐enhanced magnetron sputtering. The structure, composition, surface, and cross‐sectional morphology of the characterized X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffraction, Raman scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope. hardness, elastic modulus, tribological performance evaluated nanoindentat...

Cermet is an advanced class of material consisting a hard ceramic phase along with metallic binding the combined advantages both and metal phase. The superior properties this materials are particularly useful in high-temperature, tribological, machining applications. This review paper seeks to provide comprehensive overview various cermet systems. More specifically, most commonly used systems b...
