Investigation of titanium as thin film deposited material thereon effect on mechanical properties

Abstract

In this article state of art of research on thin film deposition and their interaction with bulk material, along with morphological changes and their behaviour under different loading conditions are analysed, and hence, performances are reviewed. Researchers have put significant efforts to predict changes in structural property and their influences on performances of these coatings. These coatings can exhibit adaptive and chameleon kind attributes. The physical and structural properties of the element used for coating had relationship between amorphisation, chemical structure, chemical properties and thus altering performance of coated sample. Here, we selected mechanical properties as an indicator of performance measure. Material’s microstructure, elastic modulus, hardness, roughness, lattice parameters, etc. as a function of the deposition might be examined by SEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, AFM, etc. and analysed by tribological applications, nanomechanical measurements, nanoindentation, wear behaviour and microabrasion. For tribological applications of materials; hardness and elastic modulus plays an significant role and mechanical properties of coated thin films is measured by nanoindentation, nanomechanical measurements. Here, a critical examination and review of theoretical and experimental frameworks are presented for better understanding of mechanical properties and metallurgical characteristics.
