Архитектура покрытия сочетает адгезионный слой Cr, наноструктурный функциональный слой CrAlSiN, промежуточный слой Cr с чередованием до 12 слоев и завершающий слой CrAlSiN, предназначенные для повышения несущей способности и снижения распространения трещин при скользящем контакте. Методами сканирующей электронной микроскопии, энергодисперсионной спектроскопии и наноиндентирования исследованы микроструктура, элементный состав, твердость, модуль упругости. Трибологические испытания проводились по схеме «шар – диск», где контертелом являлся шар из Al2O3, которые позволили установить коэффициент трения и скорость износа при сухом трении.Трибологические испытания подтвердили стабильность коэффициента трения и высокую износостойкость, что обусловлено многослойной архитектурой и оптимальными механическими свойствами материала. Чередование жестких керамических слоев CrAlSiN с пластичными прослойками Cr создает эффективную систему внутренних барьеров, препятствующих распространению трещин и локализующих пластическую деформацию. Такое сочетание структурных особенностей и механических характеристик делает покрытие CrAlSiN/Cr эффективным решением для деталей, работающих в условиях высоких нагрузок и ограниченного смазывания.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study investigates the structural features, mechanical, and tribological properties of a multilayer metal-ceramic coating (CrAlSiN/Cr) deposited by physical vapor deposition (PVD) onto 40ХН steel substrates. The coating's architecture comprises a Cr adhesive layer, a nanostructured functional CrAlSiN layer, an intermediate Cr layer with up to 12 alternating layers, and a final CrAlSiN layer. These layers are designed to increase load-bearing capacity and reduce crack propagation under sliding contact. The microstructure, elemental composition, hardness, and elastic modulus were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and nanoindentation. Tribological tests were conducted using a ballon-disk setup, with an Al2O3 ball serving as the counterweight. These tests allowed us to determine the friction coefficient and wear rate under dry friction.Preliminary tribological tests have confirmed the stability of the friction coefficient and high wear resistance, which is due to the multilayer architecture and optimal mechanical properties of the material. The alternation of hard CrAlSiN ceramic layers with ductile Cr interlayers creates an effective system of internal barriers that prevent crack propagation and localize plastic deformation. The combination of structural features and mechanical properties of the CrAlSiN/Cr coating renders it an exceptionally effective solution for components operating under high loads and limited lubrication.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>многослойные покрытия</kwd><kwd>PVD-технология</kwd><kwd>металлокерамические композиты</kwd><kwd>CrAlSiN/Cr</kwd><kwd>трибологические испытания</kwd><kwd>износостойкость</kwd><kwd>микротвердость</kwd><kwd>коэффициент трения</kwd><kwd>нанокомпозитные структуры</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>multilayer coatings</kwd><kwd>PVD technology</kwd><kwd>metal-ceramic composites</kwd><kwd>CrAlSiN/Cr</kwd><kwd>tribological testing</kwd><kwd>wear resistance</kwd><kwd>microhardness</kwd><kwd>coefficient of friction</kwd><kwd>nanocomposite structures</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Повышение износостойкости металлических и металлополимерных трибосистем путём формирования структуры и свойств их поверхностного слоя / И.
