Abstract

MoS$_2$-Ti films were deposited on SKD-11 tool steel substrate by a D.C. magnetron sputtering system. The influence of deposition parameters on the adhesion of the films was investigated by the scratch test. Crosssection morphology was evaluated using FE-SEM. The plasma etching played an important role on the adhesion of the films. The appropriate etching conditions roughened the surface, resulting In the improved adhesion of the film. The adhesion of the film increased with the interlayer thickness up to 110 nm and then decreased slightly with further increasing of interlayer thickness. The adhesion was highest at a bias voltage of -50 V. Further increase of the bias voltage decreased the film adhesion.
