Microstructure and Oxidation Resistance of TiN Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of TiN coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering with different target powers and different N2 flows. The microstructure and oxidation resistance of TiN coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness of the thin films was characterized respectively with the nanoindentor. The effect of target powers and the N2 flows on the microstructure, the hardness and oxidation resistance was studied. It was found that TiN coating deposited at different target powers and different N2 flows exhibits a cubic structure with (1 1 1) preferred orientations, and the hardness of TiN coatings is 1200. The oxidation resistance of the TiN coatings is approximately 500°C.
