The effect of substrate temperature of titanium aluminium nitride coating on titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V) substrate using PVD method

Titanium and its alloys are widely employed in many industrial fields, due to their high specific strength and good corrosion resistance. On the other hand, these materials show relatively low shear strength and high coefficient of friction. As matter of fact, the poor wear resistance of these mater...
