Abstract

The quality of components and structures is directly related to degradation processes such as corrosion and fatigue that are concomitant phenomena during their operation. One of the options for increasing the quality of components and structures is the use of appropriate surface coating. In this paper is presented an experimental investigation of the corrosion influence on the fatigue resistance of the carbon steel with coatings based on Ti and Cr nitrides. The experimental work included determination of the chemical composition of the base material, heat treatment, microstructure evaluation, mechanical properties measurement, coating depositions, corrosion test and the fatigue tests by rotation bending of the deposited layers. The corrosion and fatigue tests have shown that the coating provides improvement of the corrosion resistance and that there was no reduction of the fatigue resistance.
