The aim of this work was to determine the influence of the tungsten addition to TiB 2 coatings on their microstructure and brittle cracking resistance. Four coatings of different compositions (0, 7, 15, and 20 at.% of W) were deposited by magnetron sputtering from TiB 2 and W targets. The coatings were investigated by the following methods: X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All coatings had a homogeneous columnar structure with decreasing column width as the tungsten content increased. XRD and XPS analysis showed the presence of TiB 2 and nonstoichiometric TiBx phases with an excess or deficiency of boron depending on composition. The crystalline size decreased from 27 nm to 10 nm with increasing W content. The brittle cracking resistance improved with increasing content of TiBx phase with deficiency of B and decreasing crystalline size.
