Abstract
The importance of coatings in engineering has been predominant throughout the development of the new industrial era. The competitiveness of the field has led to the development of better materials that achieve superior properties. The purpose of this research is evaluating the adhesion to the surfaces coated by magnetron sputtering technique. The adherence quality of the deposited coatings on specimens was evaluated adhesion by scratch and indentation tests guided according to standards, using the Tribolab UMT at constant load. The results obtained allow validating of the additive manufacturing process as possible mechanicals applications.

The new generations of functional coatings that allow a wide variety of solutions are in great demand today
Additive manufacturing processes take information from a computer aided design (CAD) file that is converted into a stereolithography (STL) file
We investigate the adhesion to the surfaces coated by magnetron sputtering technique following the established by ASTM G171-03 [9], and ASTM E92-17 [10] & E384-17 [11] standard, analyzing the effect of apply force in the specimen surface
Summary
The new generations of functional coatings that allow a wide variety of solutions are in great demand today. The current trend for the individualization of products and the increase in their complexity, has meant that new ways of manufacturing the products must be thought of, taking the best of the available technologies. Additive manufacturing processes take information from a computer aided design (CAD) file that is converted into a stereolithography (STL) file. The precision of this technique needs improvements to replace in some degree the need for a finishing process and until now the use of coatings is the preferred solution in search of superior properties. The rapid creation of prototypes is one of the most striking uses because with this, researchers can build and analyze models of theoretical understanding and advanced studies [1,2,3]
