Determination of CVD Coating Thickness for Shaped Surface Tool

Nowadays it is very important to reach optimal life time for tools used in industry. CVD coatings belong together with the PVD coatings to the most commonly used final surface treatment. Determination coating properties, such as tribological properties, hardness, thickness and many others are very crucial. Presented research is focused on determination of individual layer thickness in multi-layer CVD coating used for surface treatment of shaped surface tools.
