Ion-plated titanium carbonitride films

Influence of the C content on the mechanical and tribological properties of the TiCN coatings deposited by LAFAD technique

“…Titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coatings are very interesting coatings that combine the high hardness and low friction coefficient of the TiC phases and the high toughness of the TiN phases [5][6][7][8][9]. These unique properties make TiCN coatings a good solution for the applications requiring high abrasion and wear resistance.…”

Micro‐XPS analysis of slide‐tested TiN films with/without Cl+ implantation

“…Adding carbon to TiN by ion plating to form a TiCN film results in better wear performance. 4 Implantation of Cl C to chemically treat TiN films was carried out to improve the tribological properties: 5 the friction coefficient of the TiN film (¾2 µm thick) without Cl C implantation was ¾0.8, whereas it was <0.2 for the TiN film with Cl C implantation. 6 In order to clarify the effect of Cl C implantation on the friction coefficient, we analysed the surfaces of TiN films with/without Cl C implantation by scanning XPS.…”

Experimental investigation of cutting tool performance in high speed cutting of hardened X210 Cr12 cold-work tool steel (62 HRC)

“…TiCN is a solid solution of TiN and TiC such that a thin layer coating would combine the advantages and characteristics of both [15]. TiCN has better adhesive and abrasive resistance compared to TiN and TiC [16,17].…”
