Multilayers and nanocomposites based on titanium nitride are widely investigated due to their high hardness and tribological properties. In this paper we report the production of coatings, on high speed steel, made by dc magnetron sputtering of multilayers TiN/VN, TiN/CrN and TiN/SiN as well as nanocomposites consistent in nanoparticles of SiN or CrN or VN embeded in matrixes of TiN. All these coatings were investigated by Auger Electron Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Stoichiometry and structure were related to their respective Vickers hardness (measured by using Scanning Electron Microscopy), friction coefficient and abrasion wear measurements.
