Hard ceramic coatings such as TiN and CrN are very successful and widely used in improving the performance of cutting and forming tools. Some research showing CrN coatings can provide a lower friction and better corrosion resistance compared to TiN coatin Hard ceramic coatings such as TiN and CrN are very successful and widely used in improving the performance of cutting and forming tools.
