Sometimes known as tinite is an extremely hard ceramic material often used as a coating on titanium alloys steel carbide and aluminium components to improve the substrate s surface properties.
Titanium nitride ceramics.
Applied as a thin coating tin is used to harden and protect cutting and sliding surfaces for decorative purposes due to its golden appearance and as a non toxic exterior.
Dense nanocomposites consisting of titanium nitride tin and 1 7 8 1 mol silicon nitride a si 3 n 4 have been prepared by high pressure sintering at 6 5 gpa and at temperatures up to 1300 c microstructure hardness indentation fracture toughness elastic modulus and the correlation of these parameters to the silicon nitride content of the obtained tin si 3 n 4 ceramics have been.
Titanium nitride tin titanium carbide tic chromium nitride crn diamond like carbon dlc tungsten carbide carbon wc c and alumina al 2 o 3 are some of the important ceramic materials used in coating applications.
The coating has high hardness and low friction combined with moderate resistance to oxidisation.

Tib 2 is also a reasonable electrical conductor 1 so it can be used as a cathode material in aluminium smelting and can be shaped by electrical discharge machining.
Titanium diboride tib 2 is an extremely hard ceramic which has excellent heat conductivity oxidation stability and wear resistance.
Few studies have been reported on synthesis of bulk tin samples abbreviated as bulk tin in the following.
Coating with these ceramics improves wear resistance high temperature stability and friction properties of the.
