This paper presents a nondestructive X-ray diffraction method for the accurate determination of thicknesses of polycrystalline TiN and amorphous-like TiAl coatings deposited by DC magnetron sputtering onto thick polycrystalline stainless steel and carbon steel substrates. This method relies on the measurement of intensity loss of a substrate reflection caused by the deposition of the coating. The uncertainty of the thickness measurements by the X-ray diffraction depends on the mass absorption coefficient of the coating material and the quality of the collected diffraction patterns. For the coatings considered, thicknesses determined by the X-ray diffraction method show very good agreement with the thickness values measured by scanning electron microscopy and ball crater techniques.
