Abstract In the present work, Ti-Al-N coatings were deposited on 1Cr18Ni9Ti substrates at a low synthesis temperature using arc ion plating(AIP). The effects of nitrogen flow rate and post-heat treatment on the microstructure of the coatings were investigated. The results show that no Ti2AlN phase forms in all the as-deposited coatings. The coatings are possibly composed of Ti3AlN inverse perovskite phase, TiN, α-Ti, fcc-Al and TixAly intermetallic phase. Ti2AlN phase can be detected in the annealed coatings in a given condition. It has been found that the nitrogen concentration in the coatings and the annealing temperature play a key role in the phase formation. The formation of Ti2AlN phase is suppressed by the increment of nitrogen concentration and promoted by the enhancement of annealing temperature. TEM results indicate that the formation of Ti2AlN phase is accompanied by the microstructure evolution from strong layered structure to fine equiaxed crystals in the process of heat treatment.
