Abstract: The fine rnicrostrueture of the Y-modified ion plated Ti(Y)N coating/substrate steel A3 system has been examined by means of TEM and microdiffraction technique.It was revealed that the interface consists of 3 sublayers,i.e.α-Fe+Y_6Fe_(23),Ti+Y+FeTi and Ti_2N+YN +Ti_xN_y.The thicknesses of them are about 200,50 and 120 nm respectively.The phases in the transition area seem to have certain orientation relations.The mechanism of interface formation has also been discussed.

Key words: Ti(Y)N coating, interface, sublayer, Y-modification
