ARC PVD COATING WITH ENHANCED REDUCING FRICTION AND REDUCING WEAR PROPERTIES

摘要

A coated body includes a body (1) with a body surface (3) and a coating system (20) deposited on at least a portion of the body surface (3). The coating system (20) includes at least one hard friction reducing coating deposited as an outermost layer (9) which exhibits droplets (10) at its surface. The outermost layer (9) includes molybdenum copper nitride and/or molybdenum nitride and copper nitride, and at least some of the droplets (10) consist mainly of copper. Preferably most of the largest droplets (10) consist mainly of copper.
