Figure 2

The applied temperature cycle (a) and the experimental data of the AlCrN film B, phase plot with indicated diffraction angles for tabulated particular phases, where the white crosses indicate additional diffraction peaks representing 2nd order diffraction due to the presence of the second harmonic’s wavelength in the primary beam (b), evolution of intensity (c) and the 1st derivative of the intensity (d) of w-Al(Cr)N 100 (green) and h-Cr2N 100 (violet) reflections, the texture plot for c-Cr(Al)N 111 reflection indicating 〈111〉 fibre texture (e), texture plot for w-Al(Cr)N 100 reflection indicating overlapping 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 fibre texture (f), evolution of FWHM of c-Cr(Al)N 111 (red) and w-Al(Cr)N 100 (green) reflections (g), thermal expansion of c-Cr(Al)N (red, evaluated from the 200 reflection), w-Al(Cr)N (green, 100 reflection) and WC substrate (blue) (h) and residual stress evaluated from the c-Cr(Al)N 200 (red), w-Al(Cr)N 100 (green) and h-Cr2N 100 (violet) reflections (i).
