description Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coatings are used as protective layers for steel components dueto their hardness, chemical inertia and interesting tribological properties. Reducing wear and friction coefficient is of great importance for industries today in order to increase energy efficiency and reduce harmful emissions to the environment. In this paper, a multilayer CrN/DLC coating is analysed. It was deposited using a commercial Plasma Enhanced Magnetron Sputtering over nitrided and not nitrided mild-alloy steel AISI 4140, produced for the first time in Argentina, at the firm Coating.Tech by Flubetech-Tantal. The base of the coating is an anchor layer made of CrN and the top layer is a chromium-dopped hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H:Cr), which provides excellent tribological properties. Wear tests were carried out in a Pin-on-Disk apparatus, using an Al2O3 ball as counterpart, with Hertzian contact stress from 1370 up to 1460 MPa. The friction coefficient was μ~0.1, which is 80% less than the untreated steel and the wear volume loss was reduced eight times. The adhesion was evaluated by means of Scratch Test, where major improvement was noticed in the samples which were nitrided as pre-treatment, increasing critical load from 25 N up to 65 N.
