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...

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 materials is still a limit to a wider use. However, these disadvantages mainly concern on bulk materials and can be avoided by using intermetallic coatings. Thin hard coatings have good wear resistance only when they have both good cohesion and adhesion. In this study, the effect of substrate temperature of titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) coating on the titanium alloy substrate using PVD method was evaluated. The TiAlN coating was deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrate by DC magnetron sputtering process at various temperature. The reactive sputter gas with a mixture of Ar (99.999%) and N2 (99.999%) with flow rate of 20sccm and 10 sccm respectively was used.
