Popis: Titanium Aluminum Nitride (Ti1−xAlxN) thin films with different Al concentrations (64 & 81%) were deposited on SS substrate by reactive magnetron co–sputtering. GIXRD result shows that it has NaCl type crystal structure. Adhesion strength of Ti1−xAlxN with 81% Al (3 N) is higher than the 64% (1.4 N) because it is softer than the later. The average surface hardness of these films was measured as 34 and 30 GPa, respectively.
