New type WC1-x/C coatings have been deposited onto hardened ASP2023 HSS and
Si substrates by means of a reactive magnetron sputtering. After deposition the
structure and properties of the coatings have been analysed with use of SEM, EDS,
XRD, Raman spectrometry, nanoindentation, nanoscratching, ball-on-disk dry
sliding wear of the coatings against ceramic ZrO2 ball as well as of macroscratch
