Chemical vapor deposited h-TiB2 coatings exhibit a high hardness (up to ~45GPa) and outstanding wear resistance; they are thus frequently used for machining of Ti alloys and refractory metals. The coating architecture of a fcc-TiN base-layer followed by the h-TiB2 top-layer results in a sharp transition of microstructure, residual stress, hardness and Young's modulus and consequently in a weak interface...
