Abstract

Ti−B−C−N films were deposited on tool steel substrates by a DC magnetron sputtering system, and their oxidation characteristics were investigated at the temperature range of 200°C to 800°C for up to 5 h in air. Ti−B−C−N films were oxidized to TiO2, which further reacted with FeO to become FeTiO3. The films did not display good oxidation resistance, owing to the evaporation of B, C and N into the air, film breakage, and poor film adherence owing to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficients between film and substrate.
