Abstract

Ti and TiNx (x < 1) thin films have been deposited on high speed steel (HSS) substrates by reactive sputtering and then N+ implanted. The increase of the N/Ti ratio of the films during deposition is related to a decrease in their roughness, and N+ implantation produces another additional slight decrease of the roughness. The hardness of samples increases with the nitrogen content in the as-deposited samples; nevertheless, N+-implanted Ti coatings show lower values of hardness than reactive sputtered TiNx films. α–Ti, ε–Ti2N, and δ–TiN phases were identified by grazing x-ray diffraction.
