Abstract: Engineering applications ofTiB2coatings are limited because of the brittle nature of interfacial bonds on the substrate surfaces, although they have many major properties such as high hardness, high wear and high temperature strength. To overcome this drawback, many researchers have studied over many years and their efforts have taken several forms such as the rotation of substrate, heating treatment during deposition or after deposition, application of positive bias voltage to the substrate, the introduction of transition elements as an interlayer, gradient or multilayer or composite strengthening, and the optimization studies performed by changing deposition process types and/or process parameters such as working gas and bias voltage. The purpose of this paper is to discuss these solutions proposed or developed by researchers against the limited use ofTiB2coatings due to its brittleness and low adhesion. From the results reported in literature, it is concluded that the best solution in order to produce non-brittleTiB2based film well adherent to substrate is the use of pulsed-dc deposition technology provided that the process parameters are tuned to give an appropriate composition and/or a coating design. Furthermore, theTiB2based coatings with multiphase layers seem to give better results respect to adherence.
