This study investigated the wear behaviour of TiN, TiAlN, and TiAlSiN-coated X100CrMoV5 steels, using physical vapour deposition, under a range of applied loads (2, 6, and 10 N) and sliding speeds (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 m/s). Hardness measurements revealed a progressive increase in hardness from TiN to TiAlN, with TiAlSiN exhibiting the highest value, directly correlating with the observed wear performance. The TiAlN and TiAlSiN coatings achieved hardness values that were approximately 1.36 and 1.6 times greater than that of the TiN coating, respectively. Statistical analysis utilizing regression modelling and ANOVA demonstrated a strong and significant influence of both load and sliding speed, as well as their interaction effect, on the wear rate for all three coatings. Notably, the applied load exerted a more substantial impact on the wear rate compared to the sliding speed. The results of wear tests indicated that the TiAlSiN coating consistently yielded the lowest wear rate, signifying a significant enhancement in the wear resistance of the X100CrMoV5 steel. The findings underscore the potential of TiAlSiN coatings as a highly effective surface modification strategy for improving the durability and extending the lifespan of X100CrMoV5 steel components operating in tribologically demanding environments.
