TITANIUM NITRIDING BY LASER AND CONCENTRATED SOLAR BEAMS

The possibility of the employment of solar energy concentrated by Fres nel lens is investigated in order to synthesize materials by gas-solid reaction. These first results are compared by two similar techniques as high power laser and xenon are lamp. The TiN coatings obtained with xenon are lamp and Fresnel lens are homogenous, without pol es or def ects, with a uniform thickness of about 6 (m for treatments of 2 min. The good quality of the TIN coating for all the testing conditions was confirmed by the x-ray diffraction measurements.
