Physical Vapour Deposition Method Based Microstructure Analysis of TiN Coated Surfaces in Aluminum Alloy 2024 Grade

The Aluminium Alloy 2024 grade tends to corrode the surface of the material, because it having copper content, it will undergo severe corrosion. Normally these types of Aluminium grade are applied in the building of the body of the aircraft. The main drawback of this material is after the painting, it has to be frequently painted to decrease the corrosion, for those aerospace industries have to spend more amounts for the painting. In this work, we concentrated to get the better strength of Aluminium alloy 2024 grade by reducing the corrosion. The face of the AA2024 is layered with Titanium Nitride TiN at ~1.465µm thickness. This coating is prepared by the PVD method, and after the coating process, the specimen is tested using the X ray Spectroscopy and SEM analysis for surface finish and the hardness test using the Micro hardness test.
