Large residual stresses in diamond coatings may result in film failure through splitting, delamination and substrate failure. In addition, the CVD diamond growth environment may degrade the substrate mechanical properties. These issues are examined for diamond-coating of a tool steel alloy. Diamond growth was achieved on the steel substrate with the use of a titanium interlayer. Embrittlement of the Ti interlayer was not evident, however the substrate hardness was severely degraded.
