111. In course of preparation of this review, we have accumulated and studied more than 50 recent papers on the "Ti-Si-N" and similar coatings. But because of the lack of the relevant data regarding the deposition conditions, we cannot discuss why the hardness that the authors reported was low, the morphology columnar, etc.
