Titanium diboride (TiB 2 ) films are being investigated due to their promising uses not only in electronic<br />

devices but also for mechanical purposes. Its excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability,<br />

as well as high hardness and wear resistance makes TiB 2 particularly suitable for aluminium<br />

processing (e.g. extrusion, die-casting and machining). The major concern about protective coatings<br />

is lack of adhesion to the substrate arising from the high residual stresses developed during film<br />

deposition.<br />

In the present work TiB 2 coatings were produced by non-reactive magnetron sputtering from a TiB 2<br />

target on Orvar Supreme tool steel substrate (also know as AISI H13 premium or X40 CrMoV 5 1).<br />

Two different substrate types were used, similar to those frequently found on the aluminium injection<br />

industry: quenched and tempered/nitrided. The deposition parameters, namely the target/substrate<br />

distance, emission and bias currents, were varied in order to obtain adhered and well<br />

structured films, suiting the substrates composition and microstructure. The coatings were characterized<br />

by X-Ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy/EDS, Scratch test and AFM. The results<br />

obtained show that TiB 2 can be grown on the steel substrate at low temperature with high deposition<br />

rate keeping some crystallinity degree. Depending on the experimental parameters it is possible to<br />

coat hot work tool steel with adherent TiB 2 thin films by DC sputtering.<br />
