In this investigation, Ti/TiN nanolayer and TiN single layer coatings were coated on substrate of AISI 316L stainless steel by applying physical vapor deposition (PVD) using the type of cathodic arc evaporation (CAE). The evaluation of microstructure were carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoindentation, atomic force microscopy (AFM) as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pola...

Morphology, structure, residual stress, and surface energy of magnetron-sputtered titanium nitride (TiN) thin films, deposited at 300 C with a thickness in the 0.5-1.7 lm range, were characterized. Film microstructure, the origin of residual stress, and its effect on the surface energy were analyzed. The grain size increased with the film thickness. X-ray diffraction showed (200) to (111) prefe...

In this study, thin layers of titanium nitride (TiN) were deposited on H13 steel substrates at different duty cycles and temperature of 520 ˚C using plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD). Uniaxial residual stress was calculated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Sin2 Ψ method. Then the residual stress of the samples were measured by Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXRD) method and...

Titanium nitride is considered a promising alternative plasmonic material and is known to exhibit localized surface plasmon resonances within the near-infrared biological transparency window. Here, local heating efficiencies of disk-shaped nanoparticles made of titanium nitride and gold are compared in the visible and near-infrared regions numerically and experimentally with samples fabricated ...

Titanium Nitride (TiN) films were synthesized on AISI52100 bearing steel surface employing plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID) technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) proves that TiN phase exists in the surface layer. The depth profiles and chemical bonds were analyzed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) combined with Ar ion etching. Atomic force microscope (AFM) reveals...

Titanium nitride (TiN) is a plasmonic material having optical properties resembling gold. Unlike gold, however, TiN is complementary metal oxide semiconductor-compatible, mechanically strong, and thermally stable at higher temperatures. Additionally, TiN exhibits low-index surfaces with surface energies that are lower than those of the noble metals which facilitates the growth of smooth, ultrat...

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of collagen coating on titanium on the initial attachment of human gingival fibroblasts for the development of the implant with periimplant soft tissue attachment. The morphological changes of cultured human gingival fibroblasts were investigated by scanning electron microcopy (SEM). Four different surfaces, i.e. non-coated mirror-polished tita...

The use of self-lubricating titanium nitride and silver (TiN(Ag)) nanocomposite coatings is a promising way to reduce the wear tools employed dry machining operations for hard-to-cut materials/alloys. To achieve an optimal performance, Ag diffusion within matrix needs be carefully controlled, its mechanisms clearly understood. In this paper we density functional theory calculations investigate ...
