This study investigates the effects of titanium nitride (TiN) coating deposited on Vanadis 23 and Dievar
by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method to increase the performance of elevator parts exposed to wear. In
the study, hardness and wear tests were applied to steel samples before and after coating, and the influence of the
coating to mechanical and tribological properties was evaluated.The results show that TiN coating significantly
increases hardness and wear resistance in all two steels types. The hardness rate increased approximately 2 times
in TiN coated Vanadis 23 and nearly 3 times in Dievar compared to base metal. Vanadis 23 and Dievar steels
demonstrate high performance after coating, owing to their powder metallurgy-based structures. In particular, the
potential of TiN coating in elevator components exposed to intense wear such as guide rails, guide shoes, rollers
and gearbox was emphasized.This study presents an innovative approach for industries seeking durability and
economic solutions, and demonstrates the potential of steel surfaces to which TiN coating is applied to provide
longer life and reliability in elevator parts. The findings confirm that TiN coating is a strategic solution for
increasing wear resistance and hardness performance.
