The starting powders had an average grain size from 95 um to 150 um. The plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition technique was used for the deposition of coatings and two coating systems, i.e. the 2 um titanium nitride and 3.8 um titanium carbon nitride were produced. Scratch tests were conducted with an increasing load ranging from 5 to 200 N. Critical normal loads of coating delamination during the scratch tests were registered. The sliding wear resistance was investigated with a ball-on-disc test. The ball-on-disc test showed that the porosity of the sintered product had the highest impact on the wear volume loss.
