Single CrAlC, CrAlSiC and multilayer [CrAlC/a-C] n , [CrAlSiC/a-C] n  coatings have been fabricated and investigated. Joint use of arc plasma source with Cr-Al(Si) cathode and pulsed arc plasma source with graphite cathode was applied to single coatings deposition. Diamond-like a-C layers alternate with CrAl(Si)C in multilayer coatings. The doping of CrAlC with silicon is accompanied by an increase in their crystallinity due to the formation of silicon carbide particles. Structural changes make CrAlSiC films harder with a low friction coefficient and a high resistance to plastic deformation. The multilayer coatings are crack resistant.
