Thickness and grain growth direction are assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy, chemical composition of both coating and substrate are measured using EDX. The coefficient of friction (COF) and wear was evaluated by Pin-on-disc test. Adhesion was tested using scratch testing. Wear of the coating was expressed as loss of material (volume and mass) after the scratch testing. Hardness and Young´s modulus were found to be from </em><em>3.8 GPa to 7.6 GPa and from 65 GPa to 200 GPa, respectively. Values of adhesion were from 10 N to 58 N depending on angle of incidence of the evaporated Ti particles with the coated surface. The measured values of the studied properties were compared with the literature data for Ti PVD coatings.</em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Advances in Military Technology}, author={Kottfer, D. and Ferdinandy, M. and Kaczmarek, L. and Kuffová, Mariana and Hvizdoš, P.}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={5–18} }
