Titanium carbonitride coatings have high hardness and wear resistance. Titanium carbonitride is a cermet—a composite of metal and ceramic. The ceramic provides high hardness, and the metal provides toughness.[3]
Titanium carbonitride can be prepared by reacting titanium dioxide and carbon in a furnace containing an inert gas, then reducing in nitrogen gas.[4]
