This study investigates the development of TiN-based coatings using plasma spraying technology, focusing on how plasma arc current and working gas flow rate affect the coatings’ structural-phase composition and mechanical–tribological properties. The research highlights the potential and effectiveness of plasma spraying for TiN coatings. Results from scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation tests show that the TiN coatings have a dense microstructure with strong adhesion. Tribological testing demonstrated that coatings deposited at a 250 A arc current displayed the lowest coefficient of dry friction and the lowest porosity (2.13%) compared to those deposited at 350 A and 450 A arc currents, which exhibited higher porosity (up to 10.45%).
