Abstract In order to improve the surface mechanical properties and wear performance of TC4 alloys (Ti-6A1-4V), Cr/CrAlN coatings with different multilayer structures (1,5,10) were deposited on the surface of the titanium alloy by multi-arc ion plating technology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), profilometer, Rockwell indentation tester, micro-hardness tester and ball-on-disc tri-bometer were used to study the microstructure and properties of Cr/CrAlN multilayer coatings. As the results shown, the main phase of the Cr/CrAlN-1 coating was the (Al, Cr)N phase, while these of the Cr/CrAlN-5 and Cr/CrAlN-10 multilayer coatings were the (Al, Cr)N and Cr phases. With the increase of cycling layer structure, the preferred growth orientation of the (Al, Cr)N phase changed from (111) plane to (200) plane, and the grain size of Cr/CrAlN multilayer coatings also decreased. Addition of metal Cr layers and mutilayer structures can improve the adhesion of Cr/CrAlN multilayer coatings to the TC4 alloy substrate. Cr/CrAlN multilayer coatings significantly increase the hardness and wear resistance of the titanium alloy, and the Cr/CrAlN-1 coating shows the highest micro-hardness of 2 465HK0.025, while the Cr/CrAlN-5 coating shows the lowest wear rate of 1.52×10-6 mm3·N-1·m-1. The main wear failure mechanism of Cr/CrAlN multilayer coatings was oxidation wear.
