Nanocomposite coatings of CrN–WS2 were prepared at different Cr contents (approximately 8–39 at%)using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering system. Structural changes in CrN–WS2 coatings with variation in Cr content were studied using X-ray diffraction. CrN–WS2 coatings displayed a dense, compact microstructure with reduced columnar growth in the field emission scanning electron microscopy data. Nanoindentation and nanoscratch data showed that CrN–WS2 coatings exhibited improved mechanical and adhesive properties, respectively. Micro-tribometer tests at a load of 2 N indicated that CrN–WS2 coatings prepared at 31 at% Cr exhibited a stable friction coefficient of 0.20–0.24 even after 8 h.
