Abstract

TiN films were deposited on high speed steels by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD), cathode arc ion plating (CAIP) and reactive magnetron sputtering (RMS). The properties of the films deposited by the three different methods were compared. The preferred oriented plane of PACVD-TiN is (200) and those of CAIP-TiN and RMS-TiN are (111). PACVD-TiN shows a dome surface and a microstructure having small grains. CAIP-TiN shows the highest microhardness and the best adhesion strength of the three because it has a dense microstructure and an ill-defined interface. But is shows the greatest surface roughness due to the Ti droplet created by the arc. RMS-TiN shows a microstructure having large voids so that its properties in microhardness and adhesion are the worst of the three.
