The aim of this work is to compare the thermal stability of two nanocrystalline TiC/a-C:H coatings prepared by magnetron sputtering of titanium target in acetylene containing environment. The coatings exhibited different chemical composition ([Ti]/[C] ratio) and structure. Their thermal stability was studied using thermal desorption spectroscopy in the temperature range from 500 to 1000 °C. The hardness and elastic modulus of both coatings remained almost unchanged up to 700 °C, however, they substantially differed from the point of view of their fracture resistance. Up to 700 °C no indentation induced cracking occurred in the titanium rich coating, however, reaching the annealing temperature of 1000 °C, this coating became porous and spontaneous tensile cracking appeared on its surface.
