For this purpose, high phosphorus (9%) EN coatings with thicknesses of 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 urn were applied on steel substrates and then treated as conventional process. Fracture toughness of coatings was obtained using Vickers indentation method. It is found that fracture toughness increses as coating thickness reduces. Effect of coating thickness on fracture toughness was exhibited by various models. Evaluation of models revealed good agreement between of proposed model (Kc=f(t,t2)) and experimental data.展开更多
