Abstract
In Indian economy agriculture plays a principal source of income. Primary and secondary operations such as ploughing are the basic actions and extensive usage of cultivators for secondary tillage operation causes wear of the shovels because they are subjected to high tillage forces. An ample amount of material is lost due to wear and abrasion. Therefore, control and prevention of wear of cultivator shovels are vitally important for agro applications because wear of critical components has an economic significance. In this work CrN coating is deposited over cultivator reversible shovels using the DC magnetron sputtering technique and the structure, morphological, hydrophobic and wear characteristics are determined. It is observed that the working life of the agricultural tool is increased up to a significant level by depositing the desired coating on the substrate.
