    AISI H13 steel is widely used for extrusion moulds and other hot work tools fabrication, due to its high toughness, strength and hardness around 56 HRC (Rockwell C) -- However, this steel possesses a relatively low wear resistance, which reduces its life time under high loading conditions -- The aim of this work was to enhance the wear resistance of the steel H13 using the following surface treatments:austenitizing + quenching + tempering (further called “tempering”), tempering and bath nitriding, tempering and coated with chromium nitride (CrN), tempering + bath nitriding + coated with CrN (further called “Duplex coating”) -- The properties of the treated samples were compared with each other in dependence of the made surface treatment -- The coatings were deposited using the r.f. balanced magnetron sputtering deposition technique -- The total thickness of the coatings was maintained at 5 µm, while the thickness of the nitrided zone was approximately 140 µm -- The microstructure and the crystalline phase composition were investigated by Scanning -- Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, respectively -- The hardness and the adhesion of the coatings were determined by micro indentation measurements and the Rockwell indentation test, respectively -- The wear resistance of the coatings was evaluated using ball on disc tests -- The duplex treated samples presented a hardness three order of magnitude higher and showed a wear rate six times smaller than those samples only tempered
