The current paper summarizes briefly the results obtained by comprehensive investigations of magnetron sputtered Cr2N thin films with small additions of silver, whereas the pure Cr2N is used as a reference material. The main aspects reported here are: growth rate of the films, their growth manner, phase constitution, mechanical properties being represented by Young modulus and nanohardness, adhesion on the substrate made from Cr-V ledeburitic steel having a hardness of 60 HRC, tribological performance and effect on the mechanical properties of the substrate.

Keywords: Magnetron sputtering, Cr2N-Ag thin films, microstructure, mechanical properties, tribological performance
