Current Density (A/cm )
1. The Hyperlox and Hyperlox Gold (+TiN) coatings presented a high Young
Modulus. However, the hardness of the TiN coating was lower (32 to 26 Gpa).
2. The Hyperlox (without TiN) failed at the abrasive test when it was deposited
without the nitriding pre treatment. The same occurred in the POD tests at high
loads.
3. The nitrided layer improved the wear resistance in adhesive pin on disk test at
high loads for both coatings.
4. The adhesion was better in the duplex samples (nitriding+coating) in both
cases.
5. The duplex sample N + H + TiN resulted to be the best protective system in
saline environments, proved in the corrosion tests.
