Description Thin zirconium nitride (ZrN) films were prepared by using reactive direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering onto D9 steel substrates. XRD technique was employed to study the coatings, observing variations of crystallite size, crystallite texture and lattice constant, as a function of substrate temperature. Chemical states of the ZrN thin films were determined by X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS). AFM picture showed the presence of spherical shaped grains on the top of homogeneous granular surface. The hardness and elastic modulus values were measured by nanoindendation and their values are 18.5 and 343 GPa respectively.
