Figure 4

Residual stress evolutions over the heating cycles for films A, B and C deposited at 475 °C, 400 °C and 325 °C,respectively (a). Full vertical lines indicate the end of the thermoelastic regime, dashed lines indicate the onset of phase decomposition and horizontal lines show the mean values of stress magnitude for the three onsets of phase decomposition in the individual coatings. FWHM of c-AlCrN evolution up to 1100 °C for coatings A, B and C deposited at 475 °C, 400 °C and 325 °C, respectively (b).
