Abstract
Experimental data indicate that the failure of electrodeposited chromium coatings under sliding operates predominantly by slow fracture and fatigue. Cracks are initiated transverse to the wear direction and propagate progressively through the coating driven by the cyclic stress field beneath the sliding asperities. The final stage of failure takes place by the development of cracks parallel to the surface and their linkage with normal cracks to cause detachment of the coating.
