•(WCrTiAlSi) N coating was prepared on rapid nitrided AISI 316L steels by cathodic arc evaporation system.•Coating was composed of NaCl-type (W, Cr, Al, Ti)N crystallites and an amorphous Si3N4 phase.•The pre-nitriding of the AISI 316L steels improved the surface hardness and the load bearing capaci...
