Study on Low Temperature Deposition of TiN Films and their Tribological Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

The low temperature deposition principle of magnetron sputtering was discussed. Reactive magnetron sputtering technique was used to gain titanium nitride (TiN) thin films on W18Cr4V high-speed steel substrates at low temperature. A series of experiments had been conducted to study the properties of TiN films. The experimental results showed that at the low temperature(<140 °C), magnetic sputtering can be used for the deposition of TiN film with compact, uniform and high nano-hardness, and their tribological properties were excellent, which co-determined by the film structure of low temperature magnetron sputtering and the counter-parts of rubbing pairs.
