Effect of aluminum concentration on friction and wear properties of titanium aluminum nitride films

Optimization of hybrid PVD process of TiAlN coatings by Taguchi method

“…The peak positions revealed changes on the lattice parameter from 0.4235 to 0.4246 nm. The smaller lattice parameter was related with the formation of a solid solution structure where Al atoms substituted Ti atoms in TiN cubic lattice (remaining still a fcc structure), since the aluminum atomic is smaller than the Ti [22]. …”

Effect of phase transformation on structural, electrical and hydrophobic properties of nanocomposite Ti1−xAlxN films

“…It has been reported that the intensity of X-ray reflections from Ti 1−x Al x N films with 0.59 ≤ x Al ≤ 0.86 is very weak due to the formation of nanometer-sized grains and low-density interfaces, confirming the formation of nanostructures in the films at these specific composition of Al. The phase transformation in Ti 1−x Al x N films with varying Al content, has been well studied in the literature [19][20][21][22][23]. However, structure and properties of the Ti 1−x Al x N films reported so far are widely different due to the different processing conditions chosen during deposition.…”

BGA cutter improvement utilizing nano-TiAlN coating layers synthesized by cathodic arc ion plating process

“…Based on such heavy machining requirements, tungsten carbide (WC) cermet tools are widely used. In the meantime, titanium aluminum nitride (TiAlN) coating on the WC tools by filtered cathodic arc ion plating system (FCAIP) has the superior properties of hardness, wear resistance and higher oxidation temperature which offer proven benefits in terms of tool life and machining performance [1][2][3].…”
