Hard coating coated member having excellent wear resistance

A member coated with a hard coating and having wear resistance, the hard coating comprising an adhesion reinforcing layer formed on a surface of the member and a second layer, wherein

• the adhesion layer has a composition selected from the group consisting of
• a) (AlaTib)(NcCd), where 0.25≦a≦0.75, a+b=1, 0.6≦c≦1, and c+d=1;
• b) one or more metals from the groups 4A, 5A and 6A of the Periodic Table as an essential component;
• and
• c) AlxTiyVz, where 0≦x≦0.75, 0<y<1, 0<z<1, and x+y+z=1;
• and a second layer is formed on the adhesion layer which has a composition represented by the formula:
• (Alp, Tiq, Vr)(Nu, Cv),
• where 0≦p≦0.75, 0.20≦q≦0.75, 0.10≦r≦0.75, p+q+r=1, 0.6≦u≦1, and u+v=1.
