Increasing environmental awareness and energy costs are major driving forces behind the development of energy efficient machines. Simultaneously, increased energy efficiency often leads to higher power densities. Besides diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings, nitride hard coatings deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) show a high potential for wear reduction on machine components. However, regarding friction reduction in lubricated tribological contacts, nitride hard coatings still exhibit a high demand for research since state-of-the art lubricants are tailored to interact with steel surfaces in order to form friction reducing tribolayers. Therefore, the addition of triboactive elements (X) into nitride hard coatings is a promising approach to enhance tribological interactions with lubricants and to reduce friction. The aim of the paper is the analysis of the tribological interaction between the nitride hard coating (Cr,Al)N+X and lubricants. Therefore, a mineral oil based reference and a mineral oil doped with a sulphur additive were investigated regarding interactions with the coatings under tribological conditions. The coatings were deposited in a low temperatureT≤ 200 °C hybrid PVD coating process on case hardened steel AISI5115 (16MnCr5E). The coating and compound properties were investigated. The tribological behavior of the coatings was tested in a pin on disc (PoD) tribometer against inert ceramic Si3N4counter bodies. The tests were conducted at temperaturesT= 90 °C andT= 130 °C at Hertzian contact pressures p0≈ 1,600 MPa and p0≈ 1,900 MPa. Under the given tribological conditions a friction reduction was achieved by adding the triboactive element Mo into the coatings. Raman spectroscopy revealed that MoS2was formed in-situ during the tribological tests. The investigated (Cr,Al)N+Mo coatings are therefore a promising approach for friction reduction in highly loaded tribological systems.
