Mechanical and Tribological Behaviors of Nanocomposite Titanium Nitrides Coatings

TiN coatings with a thickness of 2 μm were deposited using the magnetron sputtering has developed rapidly over last decade in such way that it become an established process choice for deposition wide range various applications different domains as gives excellent performance many aspects. In view this, we have by Ti target at nitrogen content to study influence on mechanical properties and tribological behaviors systematically investigated nanoindentation pin-on-disk tribometer. Nanoindentation results shows hardness Young's modulus increase increasing N coatings.Wear test indicate wear rate friction coefficient XC100 steel substrate significantly reduced coatings, are strongly dependent coatings.
