Mn+1AXn phases belong to a group of ternary nitrides or carbides, where M denotes an early transition metal, A denotes mostly a group III or IVA element and X is either nitrogen or carbon. Due to the presence of strong covalent MX bonds and weak ionic MA bonds, these materials often exhibit a high corrosion resistance as well as good electrical conductivity and thermal stability. The phase synthesis and their suitability for industrial applications, e.g. as protective and/or conductive coatings has been studied for crystalline films by others. However, these properties are strongly influenced by the material's microstructure and phase composition. To investigate the evolving microstructure of polycrystalline Ti2AlN and Ti2AlC coatings, AlN-Ti and Al-TiC multilayers were deposited by reactive sputtering using either nitrogen or methane as reactive gases, followed by a subsequent annealing step at 700°C in vacuum. In this way, coatings with a dominant M2AX-phase component were synthesized successfully. The coating*s properties were examined by elemental and phase analysis using XPS, XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The investigations revealed a prominent texture in the coating's microstructure which was ascribed to the multilayered deposition.
