Abstract

A novel low temperature process for the chemical vapour deposition of titanium nitride films has been developed. Titanium sub-halides generated “in situ” by chlorination of titanium pellets are subsequently reacted with ammonia at reduced pressure and temperatures of 450–600° C. The coatings have excellent adhesion and wear resistance. A description of the process and the properties of the coatings produced by it will be presented.
