In this work, the influence of diamond-like carbon top layers deposited on two different types of layer architecture on wear and corrosion resistance is investigated. Physical vapour deposition coatings with a-C:H top layer of various thicknesses were deposited on plasma nitrided 42CrMo4 by reactive magnetron sputter ion plating. Beneath the top layer, an architecture with and without a-C interlayers was deposited. Investigations using potentiodynamic polarisaton testing in artificial seawater as well as an impact tribometer show that it is possible to protect low-alloy heat treatable steel from both corrosion and wear by using pre-treatment and an appropriate diamond-like carbon coating. Thicker a-C:H top layers as well as the addition of a-C interlayers resulted in an overall improvement in the coating behaviour.
