Abstract
Coating is a process applied to surface of materials to have thermal insulation, hot corrosion, erosion and oxidation resistance. Due to their combination of high hardness and chemical stability, thin titanium nitride and Tinalox PVD coatings have been successfully established in surface engineering. In the present study, wear and friction characteristics of TiN and Tinalox PVD coated ASME 316L stainless steel were investigated and compared with the substrate. To do this, friction and wear tests were done using Tribotester, S/N: 07‐128 CSEM machine. Also, hardness variation was determined by means of CSEM Nano‐Hardness Tester S/N: 4‐113. It was seen that hardness was increased in TiN and Tinalox coated substrates, while friction coefficient and wear rate decreased.
