Advanced Hard Ctings: Towards A Whole New World by Santecchia, Eleonora

“…The main problem with steel, is that it exhibits a relatively low hardness (below 10 GPa) which strongly decreases upon annealing above about 600 K. Thus, the majority of modern tools are nowadays coated with hard coatings, in order to: (i) increase the hardness, (ii) decrease the coefficient of friction, and (iii) protect the tools against oxidation. …”
