Titanium-based composites-titanium and silver (TiAg) and titanium and carbon (TiC)-were synthesized by the Thermionic Vacuum Arc (TVA) method on substrates especially for gear wheels and camshaft coating as mechanical components of irrigation pumps. The films were characterized by surface morphology, microstructure, and roughness through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). The silver (Ag) films crystallized into a cubic system with lattice a = 4.0833 Å at room temperature, indexed as cubic Ag group Fm3m. The crystallites were oriented in the [111] direction, and mean grain size was &lt;D&gt; 111 = 265 Å. The TiC structure revealed a predominant cubic TiC phase, with a = 0.4098 as a lattice parameter determined by Cohen's method. Average roughness (Ra) was 8 nm for the as-grown 170 nm thick TiAg film, and 1.8 nm for the as-grown 120 nm thick TiC film. Characteristic SANS contribution was detected from the TiAg layer deposited on a substrate of high-quality stainless steel with 0.45% carbon (OLC45) in the range of 0.015 Å -1 ≤ Q ≤ 0.4 Å -1 , revealing the presence of sharp surfaces and an averaged triaxial ellipsoidal core-shell object.
