INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM NITRIDE DEPOSITED ON LOW CARBON STEEL BY RF MAGNETRON SPUTTERING

Abstract

Titanium nitride is a promising substance due to its low resistance, excessive hardness, and chemical inactivity on low carbon metal substrates due to the shimmering of the magnetron RF. Its smart productivity and low value. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of thin-film precipitation coefficients on structure, surface morphology, hardness, and wear in an aggressive circumference of 3.5% by weight of sodium chloride from TiN coating. The coating is deposited using reactive RF magnetron sputtering (13.56 MHz). They took place for 60 minutes. The structural evaluation confirmed that the TiN coating crystallized in cubic (fcc) and hexagonal (hcp) structures oriented in planes (100), (111), (200), (220) and (311). The deposited coatings existing most hardness (H=20.21GPa) and Young’s modulus (E=200.79GPa Also, mechanical residences (H & E) is strongly influenced by the grain size and density tables. Comparisons revealed that electro chemical as low carbon substrate protected by the TiN coating had excellent corrosion resistance. The stoichiometric TiN film is obtained by circulating a specific polarization and a specific ionized gas in the flow (Ar) and using the optimization of the gasoline to react to the flow (N2). The XRD evaluation was used to manipulate the composition of the film. From the data obtained, the network parameters are it is calculated for each deposition and the stoichiometric film is determined. XPS evaluations of the stoichiometric film indicated that nitrogen and carbon were most often present on the surface.
