Purpose: Verification of a series of hybrid treatments of Ti6Al4V alloy consisting of primary diffusion hardening of the substrate with subsequent deposition of wear resistant coatings. Design/methodology/approach: Different nanolaminate and nanocomposite coatings were deposited with use of four different methods including a newly developed high density gas pulsed plasma MS technique. After deposition the coatings were investigated using OM, SEM, HRTEM, XRD, XPS, nanoindentation, Daimler-Benz, ball-on-plate and scratch tests. Findings: Besides an important increase of Ti6Al4V alloy hardness much greater further increase of hardness was obtained due to coatings deposition up to 53 GPa in case of a nanolaminate coating and to 47 GPa in case of a nanocomposite nc-TiN/a-SiN coating. At the same time the volume wear coefficient decreases several orders of magnitude for all the coatings. Simultaneously the friction coefficient decreased to a great extent except for the nc-TiN/a-SiN coating. Research limitations/implications: High density gas pulsed plasma magnetron sputtering is an effective method for superhard coatings deposition, however the roughness of the deposited nc-TiN/a-SiN coating was greater than after conventional magnetron sputtering. This finding needs further experimental and theoretical investigation. Practical implications: Greater surface roughness and high resistance to wear of the coatings synthesized using the newly developed gas pulsed plasma magnetron sputtering deposition limits their application to wear protection of cutting tools rather than for friction reduction in tribological couples. Originality/value: Applicability of the broad spectrum of nanolaminate and nanocomposite coatings as well as different CVD and PVD techniques for an improvement of tribological properties of Ti6Al4V alloy was analyzed in the paper including a newly developed original high density gas pulsed plasma magnetron sputtering technique.
