Abstract

An improved coated body having a nanocrystalline CVD coating of Ti(C,N,O) is disclosed. The coating is formed using the MTCVD process and including, as part of the gaseous mixture, CO, CO2 or mixtures thereof. The use of this dopant during the coating results in a much smaller, equiaxed grain size. The method of forming the body is also disclosed.
