prepared different layers of TiN/Ti multilayer coatings on titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy with 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium (Ti 6 Al 4 V) substrates with the same deposition time via high-power direct-current reactive magnetron sputtering, and they found that the CoF of 1- and 2-layer TiN/Ti multilayer coatings maintained an increasing trend, but the CoF of 4-, 8-, and 12-layer TiN/Ti multilayer coatings showed a decrease [ 33 ].
