Abstract
The results of tribological studies carried out on TiN sputter-coated ferrous and non-ferrous materials are presented. A disc magnetron system was used to sputter TiN reactively onto samples suitable for standard friction and wear tests. The tests carried out show that thin films of reactively sputtered TiN, typically 5 microm thick, provide good wear protection for ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces subjected to sliding and rolling contacts. Cutting tests with coated cermet tool inserts show that reactive sputtering is also useful for improving the performance of cutting tool inserts. The results obtained suggest that magnetron reactive sputtering can be useful to enhance the wear resistance of finished precision components.
