Abstract
The residual stresses of CrN, MoN, ZrN and Zr(21%Hf, N) ceramic thin films were examined. Hardness tests were carried out by the instrumentation indendation method. This method is based on the calculation of the difference between the indendation contact areas of stressed and unstressed surfaces by analyzing indendation load-depth data. Residual stresses calculated by this method were found to be three times higher than those of the classical X-ray diffraction method.
