Abstract
Studies have been performed on the phase compositions, surface relief, adhesion, and mechanical properties of monolayer and multilayer coatings based on TiN and TiN-Ti-TiNO. Resistance tests to microabrasive wear have been made on these. Such wear on multilayer coatings is less by a factor 1.9 than on monolayer ones. Multilayer coatings of TiN-Ti-TiNO have high adhesion to silicon; a difference from monolayer coatings is that they are not subject to peeling with the maximum normal loading by a diamond indenter during nanoscratching. The coefficient of friction is 0.17 in diamond indenter scratching of monolayer and multilayer coatings.
