The surfaces of high-performance tools and components are exposed to superimposed mechanical, thermal, wear, and/or corrosive loads. Without taking appropriate measures against these complex demands, through the use of, for example, combined treatments, an industrial application is limited or impossible. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) hard coating is a wellestablished technology for increasing wear resistance and reducing friction on tools and components. However, hard coatings cannot exhibit the full range of their excellent properties on “soft” base materials (BM). Apart from cutting tools, where cemented carbides or ledeburitic high-speed steels are commonly used as substrate materials, hot work and cold work tool steels are used for bending tools and forming or punching dies, respectively. Quenched and tempered steels are used in the case of power train components, for example. Due to the high and complex loading conditions and, especially, if the requested deposition temperatures are on a level where tempering of the substrate material (steel) occurs, it is necessary to carry out an additional heat treatment. The capability of hard coatings is thereby significantly increased, because the load support of the BM is improved (e.g., nitriding and PVD hard coating, or CVD hard coating, and surface hardening). The duplex treatment of PVD hard coating and electron beam surface hardening (EBH) is a particularly suitable combination for creating this effect. Compared with conventional surface hardening processes like flame, induction, or laser beam hardening, the energy input is independent of surface roughness (especially for polished or mirror-like surfaces), as well as being precisely dosed and positioned. It is therefore possible to limit the heat treatment to highly loaded
