(a) Single detector frame from the undeformed coating. The shaded regions on the detector image correspond to the sectors used for evaluation of the in-plane (εy) and out-of-plane (εz strains). (b) Diffractograms (intensity versus 2θ) as a function of position in the coating before application of load, showing (from bottom to top) WC–Co substrate, TiN bonding layer and (Ti,Al)N coating. (c) Normalized intensity distribution of the TiN and (Ti,Al)N 111 peaks with position in the coating. (d) Residual stresses obtained from fitting of equation (6), see text for more description. Also included is the in-plane stress calculated by the method, showing good agreement towards the top but deviations towards the (Ti,Al)N/TiN interface. |
