PROPERTIES OF Ti COATINGS EVAPORATED ON STEEL SUBSTTRATE SITUATED IN VACUUM CHAMBER IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS

Abstract

Mechanical properties such as thickness, hardness, adhesion and roughness of the Ti coating were evaluated by authors. There were achieved values of thickness, hardness, and adhesion equal to 2.8 and 2.6 µm; 2.4 and 4.9 GPa, 31 N and 20 N, respectively. For evaluation above mentioned properties have been used scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness apparatus and Scratch test, respectively. Ti coating has been activated reactive evaporated (ARE) onto steel substrate situated on different positions toward evaporated Ti.
