Abstract
The morphology, composition, and chemical state of coating elements based on titanium nitride (TiN) formed by the method of condensation with ion bombardment at different modes on Hadfield steel substrates (110G13L grade) have been studied by the methods of SEM, EDX, and XPS. It has been established that, in the formed coatings, the highest titanium content was in the composition of nitride and oxynitride, whereas there was also a certain amount of titanium and titanium oxides chemically bonded to carbon. It has been shown that titanium in the metallic state was absent for all the studied modes of coating formation and, therefore, the drop macrofraction formation did not proceed at these conditions. XPS layer-by-layer analysis demonstrated that coatings had a heterogeneous composition over depth. The microhardness of samples was studied by the Vickers test. The highest microhardness values were observed for the samples with coatings formed for 35 and 50 min, presumably as the result of higher content of compounds of the TiNxCyOz type with higher hardness than that of TiN.
