Because of solid state lubricious properties of vanadium oxides, wear resistant coatings based on nitrides and carbides of that metal are still of interest for research teams. The aim of this report is to show phase composition evolution from metallic vanadium through intermediate phases up to delta-VN phase supersaturated with nitrogen in thin films deposited by reactive, pulsed magnetron sputtering from vanadium target. This analysis is completed by remarks on preferential orientation, lattice constant and crystallite size. Presented work is a part of research on composite hard coatings for woodworking tools where vanadium nitrides and carbides are considered as a component reducing friction. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
