Ti-Al-Si-N films were deposited on 1Cr11Ni2W2MoV steel at different N2 flow rates from 0 to 600 sccm by AIP using a Ti60Al30Si10 target. The effects of the N2 flow rates on the deposition rate, composition, microstructure, microhardness and adhesion property of the films were investigated by SEM/EDS, XRD, microhardness and scratch tests, respectively. The results show that the deposition rate of the films decreased initially and then began to increase at N2 flow rate higher than 300 sccm. The microhardness of the films increased with the N2 flow rate except a slight drop at 450sccm. The evolution of adhesion property of the films was very similar to that of microhardness. All the Ti-Al-Si-N films had B1 NaCl structure with (220) preferred orientation except that at 600 sccm. The effects of the N2 flow rate on the properties of the Ti-Al-Si-N films were discussed.

TiN coating with thickness of 2.5μm was deposited on high-speed steel (HSS) substrate by pulsed bias cathodic arc ion plating. The surface and cross-section morphologies, composition depth profile and phase structure were characterized by FESEM, GDOES and XRD, respectively. Scratch test for adhesion evaluation, microhardness test for hardness measurement, and potentiodynamic polarization for corrosion resistance test were used. The results show that the TiN coating exhibits smooth surface, dense columnar grain structure and an obviously preferred orientation of TiN(111). The adhesion of the coating to substrate is exceeded more than 100N. The hardness of the coating is about 26 GPa. The low corrosion current density (Icorr) and rather high corrosion potential (Ecorr) value imply that the TiN coating displays a good corrosion resistance in 0.5mol/l NaCl solution. However, pitting is still existed due to the defects in the coating.
