Friction and adhesive wear of titanium carbide and titanium nitride overlay coatings

The Effect of Film Thickness on the Suitability of Titanium Oxynitride (TiNxOy, x + y = 1) Films as Heat Mirrors – Formed by the Atmospheric Pressure CVD of TiCl4 and NH3

“…This result was expected, given that titanium nitride films are used as wear-resistant coatings. [14] The nature of the films was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), in which the diffraction patterns recorded on the films could all be matched to the database pattern of cubic titanium oxynitride, and no other peaks could be identified in the patterns. The diffraction patterns were indexed and the lattice parameters found in the range 4.224(1) to 4.244(1) Å, consistent with the values found for titanium oxynitride of 4.172 to 4.244 Å.…”

Structure and Wear Mechanisms of Nanostructured TiAlCN/VCN Multilayer Coatings

“…This is obviously related to the modification of wear mechanisms, especially the behaviour of tribofilm formation. It has been reported in literature that tribofilm formation can be interrupted by the presence of surface‐active species7 and that carbon implantation in the TiN coating leads to a significant reduction of friction coefficient 8. The results presented in this paper are concentrated on the microstructure and dry‐sliding wear mechanisms of the TiAlCN/VCN coatings.…”

An Investigation of Titanium‐Vanadium Nitride Phase Space, Conducted Using Combinatorial Atmospheric Pressure CVD

“…Titanium nitride is used as a decorative gold-colored coating and a wear-resistant coating. [14] Reports have also shown that the hardness, and hence effectiveness of wear resistance, of TiN can be increased by the substitution of vanadium into these phases. [15,16] Attempts have also been made to investigate the optimum level of vanadium substitution, by producing up to seven members of the solid solution, but with each phase being made in a discrete synthesis.…”
