As technology advances, there is a demand for development of hard, solid lubricant coating. (Ti,Cr)NMoS₂ films were deposited on SKD 11 tool steel substrate by co-deposition of MoS₂ with (Ti,Cr)N using a D.C. magnetron sputtering process. The influence of the N₂/Ar gas ratio, the deposition temperature, the amount of MoS₂ in the films, and the bias voltage on the mechanical and the structural properties of the films were investigated. Wear tests were performed on the films deposited in various conditions.
