This product is stainless steel coated with nanostructured titanium nitride (TiN) layer with nanometric thickness, using physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Thin film transition metal nitride coatings such as TiN have wide industrial applications in the field of hard protective coatings, diffusion barriers in semiconductor technology, and decorative and optic applications. The most important property known for decorative coatings is their color and TiN is the most well-known hard decorative coating. Coating TiN on a smooth substrate creates an attractive appearance which its high hardness and wear resistance make it more durable than gold. Such hard decorative TiN coatings have applications in pipelines, sporting goods, appliances, metal bars, frames, knobs and other similar applications in which the coating is exposed to wear, erosion and corrosion during use and cleaning.
