CrN/CrCN/TaN multilayer films were deposited onto the CoCrMo alloy substrates at different number layers as two, four and 8 layers by close-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering method. Microstructure and the tribological properties of the films were characterized by XRD, SEM, pin-on-disk wear test, scratch test, micro hardness. CrN/CrCN/TaN multilayer coatings exhibited good adhesion properties on the CoCrMo alloy substrate. A very high hardness value of 60 GPa was obtained for 8 multilayered coating. As a result of the pin-on-disc wear tests, it was found that the tribological properties of the CoCrMo alloy were enhanced by coating its surface with this architecture by using close-field unbalanced magnetron system with used parameters.
