Abstract

Nano-tribological studies are required to develop in-depth understanding on interfacial phenomena of different materials that are used in different industrial (e.g. aerospace industry, coatings, tool hardening electronics devices etc.) applications. In a recent year, tribological studies on transition metals increase because of their promising mechanical properties, hardness, oxidation resistant and wear resistant characteristics. Titanium silicon nitride is considered to be one of the most prominent materials among all the transition metals. Silicon provides excellent resistance to oxidation and titanium guarantees hard coatings. So, combination of two can be developed a useful coating material which can provide wear resistance even at elevated temperature.
