Abstract

The interface structure in a Ti/TiN multilayer material has been investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It was shown that the α-Ti and β-TiN layers consisted of many cylindrical crystals growing along the close packed directions normal to the surface of a stainless steel. There existed specific orientation relationship at the Ti/TiN interfaces without transition layers: (111)TiN ‖ (001)Ti, [110]TiN ‖ [100]Ti. However there was no such orientation relationship at the Ti/TiN interfaces with TixN (x >1) transition layers.
