Abstract  Superhard nanocomposite Ti-Si-C-N coatings were deposited on substrate of high speed steel using an industrial pulsed d.c. plasma chemical vapor deposition set-up. Detailed microstructure examined by means of XRD, XPS and TEM suggested that the Ti-Si-C-N coatings are a nanocomposite structure composed of nanocrystalline Ti(C, N) and amorphous carbon and Si3N4, occasionally h-Si3N4. Ti(C, N) showed a strong 200 preferred orientation. With Ti content increasing and Si content decreasing, high-temperature oxidation resistance gain improvement gradually. When Ti and Si contents were 17.8at. % and 8.7at. %, respectively, nanocrystals of Si3N4 in the coating were dispersed on an amorphous matrix.The kind of coatings exhibited a much higher temperature (900℃) oxidation resistance. The possible origin of high-temperature of Ti-Si-C-N coating is explained that with increasing Si content, increasing amorphous Si3N4 thickness/layers and h-Si3N4dispersed in the matrix act as an efficient diffusion barrier against oxygen diffusion, which is helpful for improvement of oxidation resistance. Two-stage oxidation process involving mass gain and loss were observed, and the failure of the coating took place in the process of mass loss in the coating.
