The deposition rate, structure, and microhardness of the coatings were strongly influenced by the negative bias voltage （Vb）. The deposition rate reached 8.96 μm/h at a Vb of -150 V. X-ray diffraction measurement revealed strong CrN （200） orientation for films prepared at low bias voltages. At a high bias voltage of Vb less than -25 V both CrN （200） and （111） were observed.
