Abstract
The fabrication of TiN-coated decorative car parts and lighting fixtur es by deep drawing from a TiN-coated stainless steel plate were invest igated. Corrosion tests in real and laboratory environments were perfo rmed and the behavior of car wheel hub caps coated either before or af ter forming were compared with uncoated stainless steel hub caps. The micro- and surface structures of the hub caps were studied, before and after the corrosion tests, using secondary-ion mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy.
