The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Zr interlayer on the structure and mechanical properties of TiAlN films, which were deposited on the M2 high-speed steel substrates by means of plasma-enhanced magnetron sputtering. The result shows that the crystal orientation of Zr/TiAlN films is similar to that of single-layered TiAlN films, but the difference is that AlN(111) of Zr/TiAlN films disappears completely. With respect to Zr interlayer, the texture coefficient of Zr/TiAlN films is approximately 1. Zr/TiAlN films exhibit a compact isometric structure, which is distinctly different from the columnar structure existing in the single-layered TiAlN films and Ti/TiAlN films. The hardness and H3/E*2 of Zr/TiAlN films are, respectively, enhanced to be 36.6 GPa and 0.147. With a few cracks emerging around the indention, the adhesion strength of TiAlN films is obviously advanced by adding Zr metal interlayer.
