Abstract

TiN films are prepared by reactive rf magnetron sputtering on carbon steel substrates which are widely applied as structural materials. The electroless Ni-P plating is introduced as an interlayer in the surface modification of TiN coating. The electroless Ni-P deposit crystallizes during rf sputtering due to the elevated sputtering temperature and thus a TiN/Ni3P/Fe coating assembly is formed.

The employment of electroless Ni-P deposit results in an increase in the surface microhardness and adhesion strength. The surface hardness as high as 2266HK1 close to the hardness of bulk TiN can be achieved in the Ni3P interlayer modified TiN coating. With respect to the wear-resistance, the adhesion of the TiN coating plays an important role for the sliding wear-resistance and the interlayer Ni3P acts as a hard , barrier instead of the soft carbon steel substrate.
