Abstract
Five different TiN(x) coatings have been deposited on steel substrates by reactive magnetron sputtering. A quantitative analysis was carried out in two ways. The coatings were initially analysed by GDOS and aft er removing the coatings from the substrates and digesting the TiN(x) powder, nitrogen was quantified by the Kjeldahl technique and titanium by AAS. A comparison of the results shows that AAS and Kjeldahl resul ts correlate very well, whereas GDOS results deviate from these two me thods systematically.
