Abstract

This study aims to investigate structural, mechanical and tribological properties of titanium oxide films deposited on glass substrates by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. All the as-grown titania films possess the anatase structure having a grain size of about 44 nm irrespective of the variation of substrate temperatures. AFM images show a nodular morphology with an increase of surface roughness. From micro-scratch tests, the optical micrographs of the scratch tracks show that the complete delamination of TiO 2 films deposited at higher temperatures appear at a higher value of adhesion critical loads. The highest adhesion critical load between titanium oxide films and glass was found to be 2.24 N for the film prepared at 300 °C. It represents an enhanced adhesion strength for films deposited at higher temperatures. Scratch hardness was also found to increase from 5.5 to 8.4 GPa with increasing substrate temperature. From micro-wear test, it is found that the wear resistance of TiO 2 films deposited at higher substrate temperatures exhibits higher wear resistance.
