  • Abstract
    Ti(C,N) hard coatings were prepared by the cathodic vacuum arc deposition method in a reactive atmosphere consisted of a mixture of either N2+C2H2 or N2+CH4 gases. The influence of the gas composition on the film properties (microhardness, adhesion, deposition rate, phase composition, texture) has been investigated. Optical emission spectroscopy of the reactive plasma was also performed.
