Cr-containing titanium nitride film

Year	Description
2001	Invention patented by Hiroshi Nagasaka, Momoko Kakutani, Matsuho Miyasaka, and Tadashi Kataoka on May 23th, 2001. Abstract: The invention aims to provide a hard film which is improved in high-temperature corrosion resistance without impairing high sliding characteristics (wear resistance, low frictional coefficient) inherent in a titanium nitride thin film and which is suitable for a slide member such as a bearing or a seal used in rotary machines operated at a high temperature, such as a steam turbine and a gas turbine. For attaining this aim, the invention provides a Cr-containing titanium nitride film which is composed of a nitride containing Ti and Cr as main components, the crystal particles thereof having a face-centered cubic crystal structure, and the crystal thereof being highly oriented toward (200) face.
