This is a report of an investigation by XRD and SEM of thin coatings such as are applied by plasma spray methods for improving properties, such as are wanted in electronic devices, and for increasing durability in service. Samples were studied that had been coated under controlled conditions: Physical Vapor Deposits (PVD) of titanium nitride on steel plate and plasma spray coatings of molybdenum on steel plate. X-Ray determinations were made of x-ray lattice constants, crystallite size, lattice strain, orientation and residual stress, before and after strain was applied to the specimens.
