The results of scratch testing and wear reciprocating testing clearly revealed the positive effect of pulse bias (0.5¡Â2.5 kV) application on tribological behavior of the TiN coatings in comparison the coatings deposited with DC bias (150 V). Application of pulsed bias potential leads to a significant reduction in the friction coefficient and increasing of coatings wear resistance due to a change in their structure. The orientation of crystal planes parallel to the surface changes from (111) to (220) with the application of pulse bias, which is accompanied by a transition from fibrous grains structure to denser columnar grains. %K Nanoparticles synthesis %K Nanoparticles study %K Controlled properties %K Producing processes %K Complex structure %U http://nap.sumdu.edu.ua/index.php/nap/nap2013/paper/view/1081
