The Microstructure and Characterization of TiN Coatings Prepared by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD)

Titanium nitride (TiN) possesses excellent property as corrosion resistance, aesthetic appear Titanium nitride (TiN) is being used for coating materials on SS, Mild steel. Since many techniques are there amongst, reactive DC magnetron sputtering has many advantages to deposit ceramic coatings using metallic targets. In the present work, our main aim is to improve the hardness of mild steel. The titanium of 2'' diameter and 3 mm thickness is used as a target (99.99 % purity) for the deposition of TiN coatings.
