the new LACS® technology (Lateral ARC & Central Sputtering [19]) breaks this rule (Figure 2). Sputtered boron (made of TiB2 or B4C) plays an important role in this process, which simultaneously forms nanocomposite layers with the arced materials (such as Al, Ti, Cr). The new layers (BorAC: AlCrTiN / BN, BorAT: AlTiN / BN) are taking their first steps in industrial practice. The characteristic features of the layers and the first results raise great expectations and undoubtedly point to an important new milestone [20].
