forming or the number and/or size of the whiskers are reduced. Coating with Controlled Grain Size and Morphology for Enhanced Wear Resistance and
Toughness US. 2004265541 Ruppi, S. The wear resistance of titanium carbide-nitride coating is enhanced by optimizing grain size and microstructure. Moderatet e m p e r a t u r e CVD is used to obtain controlled, fine equiaxed grain morphology in Ti(C,N) layers. Doping with carbon monoxide, dioxide, zirconium, and/or aluminium chlorides is used. Treatment of Carbon NanoStructure Using Fluidization
