Investigation was made of the deposited rate,surface morphology and crystal pre-ferred orientation of the dense TiC coating onto austenitic stainless steel in relationwith CH4/TiCl4 mole ratio and temperature adopted in CVD processing. When theCH4/TiCl4 ratio is low or high,the preferred orientation may be(220)or(200),respec-tively,which is mainly dependent on the equilibrium concentration of active C in vapourphase.
