Currently, the methods of material coating by CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition) and PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) are expanding considerably. These methods are used in engineering and other industries. There is a large variability of the second coating. Their properties can be combined using several layers of different materials. The coatings have excellent physical and chemical properties e.g. low friction, high hardness, abrasion resistance, high temperature (normally 550 °C but 750 °C or more), corrosion and acid resistance. For the use of materials with such coatings, the knowledge of their tribological properties is necessary.
