In order to improve the tribological performance of the physical vapor-deposited AlCrN coatings, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/poly tetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings were fabricated on the AlCrN coatings surface through the thermal spraying method. The microstructure, adhesive strength, hardness, and tribological properties were investigated. Reciprocating sliding tests against SiC ball were executed with a ball-on-plate tribometer. Results showed that the adhesive strength between the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings and substrate was increased by about 15% compared with single AlCrN coatings. Compared with the single MoS2/PTFE coatings, the hardness of the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings surface was increased by about 15%. The MoS2/PTFE layer can availably reduce the friction coefficient of single AlCrN layer, and the AlCrN–MoS2/PTFE composite coatings exhibited the lowest and the most stable friction coefficient. In addition, the MoS2/PTFE layer existed on the wear track and accumulated on both the sides, which was the main reason that the friction coefficient was still lower compared with the samples without MoS2/PTFE coatings.
