A functionally graded nanocrystalline metalloceramic coating on cobalt–chrome alloys was investigated with thin-film x-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation, and scratch adhesion testing. The gradual transition in bonding from metallic to predominantly covalent along with a nanocrystalline grain structure provides a unique material system with excellent strength, toughness, and adhesion properties. XRD analysis of the (CrTiN) coating suggests a cubic sodium chloride phase structure with a=4.2169±0.0035 A. Nanoindentation measurements of the coating result in a hardness of 27 GPa and Young’s modulus of 320 GPa. The graded metallic/covalent nature of the coating with high plasticity also results in excellent film/substrate adhesion as shown by an average critical force of 44±5 N in scratch testing.
