In September 21, 2017, REACH regulation entered into force across EU meaning that it is urgent to find an alternative to the electrodeposition processes of hexavalent chromium employed in several industrial applications. These procedures are hazardous to human health and to the environment being of extreme importance its rapid replacement. Minting is one of those application where the good mechanical and tribological properties of hard chromium were never outmatched by any other coating. My current work aim is to produce Me-Co-C(N) coatings by magnetron sputtering as a viable alternative to Cr VI thin films used nowadays. By tuning the deposition parameter, coatings with different molybdenum and nitrogen content will be produced and later characterized, thus exploring the vast spectrum of their mechanical, tribological, wear and corrosion properties, either in laboratory conditions or in real life condition.
