Abstract—Wear behaviour of materials depends upon chemical, physical and mechanical properties. Understanding of these properties is very useful in selection of materials for tribological application to reduce friction and wear. Thickness of coating plays an important parameter, if coating thickness is in stipulated limit less wear and friction occurs. Beyond the limits more wear, hence material life reduces. Friction behaviour of CrN, and TiN nanomaterials coated on steel substrate studied in this article.
