The wear performance of CrN, TiN, and (Ti,Cr)N coatings on Cr12MoV steel was thoroughly investigated. This research also delved into the impact of the Ti/Cr ratio within the (Ti,Cr)N coating, as well as the effects of the applied wear test load and sliding speed on the wear behaviour. The wear behaviours in CrN, TiN, and (Ti,Cr)N coatings was sought through the examination of their hardness, steady friction coefficient, and wear rate. TiN coating showed superior hardness compared to CrN. The CrN coating consistently demonstrated the lowest friction coefficient, whereas TiN coating showed the highest. Despite its high hardness, the TiN coating exhibited the highest wear rate due to its high friction. The CrN coating, with lower hardness, showed the highest wear resistance. The hardness of (Ti,Cr)N coatings was significantly influenced by the Ti/Cr ratio. (Ti,Cr)N coatings enabled friction control, and reducing the Ti/Cr ratio led to a decrease in friction coefficients. This, combined with their high hardness, resulted in a notably competitive wear performance.
