摘要
This paper reports the effect of thickness on the properties of titanium (Ti) films deposited on the AA1100 substrate using the DC magnetron sputtering technique. The structural and morphological characterization of Ti films was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD pattern revealed that the films deposited using DC magnetron sputtering have the HCP symmetry with preferred orientation along the (111) plane for 150 µm thickness at the substrate temperature (673 K). The occurrence of metallic Ti was also confirmed by EDX analysis. SEM images illustrate that the finite-size grains uniformly distributed on the surface exhibit improved hardness, scratch resistance, good adhesion and excellent surface roughness of the film. © 2016 by Begell House, Inc.
