The effect of a TiN PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating on the fatigue behaviour of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V was investigated. Fatigue tests were performed on coated and uncoated, both smooth and 12°. V-notched, specimens in order to evaluate the influence of the coating on the substrate fatigue resistance. Numerical analyses were carried out in order to determine the stress distributions below the specimen surface and on the coating. Several coating elastic moduli were used in such calculations. The residual stress gradient induced by the coating process deposition and the substrate plasticization were also taken into account with FEM. The numerical analyses were compared to the experimental results in order to interpret them.

Abstract
The effect of a TiN PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating on the fatigue behaviour of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V was investigated. Fatigue tests were performed on coated and uncoated, both smooth and 12°. V-notched, specimens in order to evaluate the influence of the coating on the substrate fatigue resistance. Numerical analyses were carried out in order to determine the stress distributions below the specimen surface and on the coating. Several coating elastic moduli were used in such calculations. The residual stress gradient induced by the coating process deposition and the substrate plasticization were also taken into account with FEM. The numerical analyses were compared to the experimental results in order to interpret them.Pubblicazioni consigliate
