Abstarct: Wear is the damaging, gradual removal or deformation of material at solid surfaces in mechanical or chemical condition. Like creep and fatigue, Wear is the processes that cause material damage and degradation, therefore the costs associated with wear in the industry are high. Advancement in surface engineering and the appearance of new anti-wear coatings, such as TiN, CrAlN, TiBN, etc., led to increase of wear resistance and friction improvement of component. In this research, TiBN coating was deposited on a DIN-4964 tool steel by direct curent sputtering technique. The effect of nitrogen amount and bias voltage on the coating properties was investigated. Phase identification, morphology and surface microstructure, coating thickness, and the elemental distribution in coatings were studied by using X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The mechanical properties and tribological behaviors of coatings were evaluated by nanoindentation and pin on disk test. The XRD results and FESEM investigation confirmed the formation of nanostructure TiBN on the coatings and the amount of Young's modulus and hardness were respectively 4.65 GPa and 222.85 GPa. Increasing of nitrogen flow rate led to formation of more BN phase in the coatings. The presence of the h-BN phase in the coating reduced the coating coefficient of friction in comparison to tool steel substrate.
