Abstract
Titanium carbide (TiC) coatings have been deposited on steel using the pulsed electrode deposition (PES) technique. Different experimental parametric conditions were used in the deposition process. Microstructural and chemical characterisations of the coatings were performed using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Pulsed electrode technique produced hard coatings, which are commonly defect and crack free. Small TiC and Fe3C particles were randomly distributed in a Fe matrix without any preferred crystallographic orientation. The relationships between the microstructural properties and the deposition processing conditions were also explored.
