Notes:
The plasma nitriding (PN) process in the duplex surface treatment was controlled to createnitrided diffusion layers with depths of 0, 5, 15 and 80 m in the substrate of the DIN 1.2367 hot-worktool steel with the maximum microhardness values of 600, 700, 820 and 1000 HV, respectively. Thescratch properties, i.e. the critical loads of cohesion (LC1), adhesion (LC2), breakthrough (LC3) andworn out (LC4), of the PACVD TiBN coating (boride, 5-7 at.%) on these substrates increased linearlywith the maximum hardness of the PN diffusion layer. Instead of the composite hardness, the peakscratch hardness was used to describe the load-carrying capacity of the TiBN coating and PN substrate.Deep tensile cracks in the PN substrate with a hardness value of 1000 HV formed during the scratchtest at a load as low as 90 N, indicating the low fracture toughness of the substrate. Therefore, anoptimum balance between the scratch properties of the coating and the good fracture toughness of thenitrided substrate must be achieved through exercising the control of the PN and PACVD duplexprocess
