The results revealed that the LT-Ti film mainly exhibited ω-phase structure due to the insufficient mobility of Ti adatoms at LT surface, while the α-phase was predominated in the Ti film deposited at room temperature (RT-Ti film). The LT-Ti film showed a higher hardness than the RT-Ti film as well as the better toughness and film-substrate adhesion on steel substrates. The wear resistance of sputtered WS 2 film could be significantly improved by employing the Ti films as its interlayer, especially for the LT-Ti film.
