Carbon-doped TiZrN nanocomposite coatings were investigated for phase formation and wear behavior. They were prepared by laser carburization using carbon paste, and the thermal energy of the pulsed laser was limited to the range of 20 to 50%. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the ratio of carbide (TiC, ZrC) increased as the thermal energy of the laser increased. The sp2/sp3 ratio increased by approximately 16% when the laser thermal energy was raised from 30 to 40%, and the formation of amorphous carbon was confirmed in the carbon-doped TiZrN coatings. As a result of microstructural analysis, the carbon-doped TiZrN nanocomposite was formed by an increase of hybrid bonds in expanded localized carbon clusters. Wear resistance was evaluated using a ball-on-disc tester, which showed that the friction coefficient decreased from 0.74 to 0.11 and the wear rate decreased from 7.63 × 10−6 mm3 (Nm)−1 to 1.26 × 10−6 mm3 (Nm)−1. In particular, the friction coefficient and wear rate improved by 71 and 66%, respectively, owing to the formation of carbon-doped TiZrN nanocomposite with amorphous carbon while the thermal energy was increased from 30 to 40%.
