Parameter optimization of sputtered Ti interlayer using Taguchi method
The aim of this study was to optimize the process of coating a thin Ti film using a PVD magnetron sputtering system. The Ti thin film acted as an interlayer sandwiched between a substrate and a hard TiSiN coating. The substrates used were glass and high speed steel (HSS). An optimization of the proc...
