TLDR
In this article, the morphology and grain size of the Ti(C,N) coatings were modified using carbon monoxide (CO), and the results showed that the coatings appeared to be of homogeneous composition even at the highest CO levels.
Abstract
Chemical vapor deposition of Ti(C,N) coatings from the TiCl4–CH3CN–N2–H2 system on cemented carbide substrates was studied. The morphology and grain size of the coatings were modified using carbon monoxide (CO). Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that grain refinement of the Ti(C,N) coatings could be obtained by means of CO doping and nanocrystalline coatings were obtained at CO levels exceeding 6%. CO doping resulted in the incorporation of oxygen in the structure, but no segregation of oxygen to grain boundaries was observed. The coatings appeared to be of homogeneous composition even at the highest CO levels. Both improved coating hardness and surface quality were obtained with decreasing grain size. However, the coatings exhibited clearly lower crater wear resistance in the nanograined region. This was explained by an increased tendency for grain-boundary sliding in the nanocrystalline coatings leading to more pronounced plastic deformation.

The effect of deposition temperature on microstructure and properties of thermal CVD TiN coatings

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the coating hardness changes with the texture, where highly (2 1 1/1) oriented films exhibit a lower hardness compared to non-textured coatings.

Sakari Ruppi
TL;DR: In this paper, the preferred grain size should be in the sub-micron region with the grain width of 30 to 300 nm and the length to width ratio should be more than 5, preferably more than 10 and the coating should exhibit a strong preferred growth orientation along 422 or 331.

1.16 – Coating Applications for Cutting Tools

TL;DR: The history of chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition (PVD) can be found in this paper, where the authors address the history of CVD and PVD coatings, their technological aspects, coating architectures, and finally their range of application and why in some regions one technology dominates and in others both are competitive.
