Influence of the nonstoichiometry of titanium nitride TiN x on the degree of its modification with oxygen

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We investigate the influence of the nonstoichiometry (the degree of completeness) of titanium nitride TiN on the degree of its modification with oxygen. The completeness of titanium nitride was controlled by changing the nitriding temperature, nitriding time, and partial nitrogen pressure. It is shown that as the completeness of titanium nitride decreases, which leads to an increase in the intensity of oxynitriding, and as the nitrogen content in the ternary compound TiN x O1 – x decreases, the level of surface hardening of titanium alloys after oxynitriding diminishes.
