Nano-multilayered Ti-Al-Mo-N coatings were deposited by the arc-PVD method.
Changes in the coating deposition parameters lead to different phase composition.
The hardness of the obtained Ti-Al-Mo-N coatings was up to 40 GPa.
(Ti,Al)N-Mo2N coating demonstrated better mechanical properties than (Ti,Al)N-Mo-Mo2N.
Mo oxide phases formed during friction reducing friction coefficient at 20–500 °C.
