Purpose: The goal of this paper is to investigate the influence of thicknesses of Cr and CrN layers in Cr/CrN module of multi-module coatings, on their mechanical properties. Design/methodology/approach: The objects of research are systems composed of steel substrate and Cr/CrN multi-module coatings, deposited using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) method, via CAE (Cathodic Arc Evaporation) technique. Mechanical properties of the substrate/coating systems were determined using scratch test, Vickers indentation, while wear of the systems was investigated via ball on disk method. Internal strain and stress states in substrate/coating systems, arising during indentation, were calculated using FEM (Finite Element Method) computer model. Findings: For two different geometries of Cr/CrN multi-module coatings mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness, wear and adhesion forces) were examined. Additionally, in Rockwell indentation test, the states of first principal stress and effective plastic strain states were calculated. Research limitations/implications: The coatings were deposited using CAE, which results in occurrence of various defects (eg. droplets) inside coatings. This fact has its consequences, ie. perturbations in layers structure, resulting in stochastic, spatial changes of physico-chemical properties of the coatings. This defects may be reduced by special modifications of CAE (eg. active filters) techniques, but the overall mechanical properties of the coatings will not be highly improved. Practical implications: Investigations of the influence of architecture and geometry of multi-module Cr/CrN coatings on their mechanical properties is crucial, because of their wide range of industry applications. Originality/value: The main value of the paper is an experimental case study of mechanical properties of Cr/CrN multi-module coatings referenced to CrN/CrCN coatings. Moreover, using FEM model of the indentation, the differences between residual stresses and strains were discussed.
