abstract = {Physical vapor deposited coatings are widely utilized as
surface protection for metal and ceramic components
operating in harsh environments. However, research on the
high-cycle fatigue (HCF) life of hard-coated metal
substrates has reached contradictory conclusions, leaving it
unclear whether ceramic coatings enhance or compromise their
fatigue resistance. To improve reliability and extend
service life, this study explores the residual
stress-dependent influence of arc evaporated TiAlN-based
thin films on the fatigue life of Ti-6Al-4V. Therefore,
different stress-modifying approaches were implemented,
including a substrate bias variation, a Tantalum based
alloying strategy, and a specific interlayer design. The
combination of high-cycle fatigue tests, synchrotron-based
experiments providing depth-resolved stress profiles, and
the formulation of a linear-elastic stress-failure model
resulted in the following identified relationships: (i) A
threshold level in the residual compressive stress state
must be present in TiAlN-based coatings to prevent
deteriorating HCF performance introduced by failure of the
ceramic nitride. (ii) Once the residual compressive stress
field is able to shift fatigue crack nucleation into the
bulk titanium alloy, the HCF life increases. (iii) The
further the residual tensile stress peak is shifted from the
bulk material surface — achieved through an optimized
residual stress design implementing a metallic interlayer
beneath the TiAlN-based top coating — the greater the
improvement in HCF strength. Overall, this approach achieved
an unprecedented HCF enhancement exceeding 50 $\%$ compared
to uncoated Ti-6Al-4V (from 420 MPa to 628 MPa at 107 load
cycles), highlighting the importance of an in-depth
understanding of stress gradients within coating-substrate
combinations.},
