W2 N-Cu films with different Cu content ranging from 0 to 6.222 N-Cu films consist of W2 N and Cu crystal phases. An addition of copper induced W2 N crystallite size refinement accompanied by increase in hardness with a maximum at 0.92 N-Cu films decreased gradually and the wear rate increased with increasing Cu content. At high temperatures, the friction coefficient of W2 N-Cu films decreased with increasing Cu content but the wear rate increased. Overall, the results reveal that the friction properties of W2 N-Cu films, in the temperature range of 25–
