Abstract : This paper reports characterization and evaluation of the mechanical properties of a titanium (Ti) film deposited on AA6061 substrate using the DC magnetron sputtering technique. The surface morphology of the Ti film was determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The presence of metallic Ti was confirmed by energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. An increase in the Ti thin film thickness from 15 μm to 26 μm on the substrate exhibits significant improvement in hardness, scratch resistance, superior adhesion, and excellent surface roughness.
