Demonstrates DLC coating enhances fatigue life in titanium alloys, suggesting improved durability.
Summary Diamond‐like carbon (DLC) coating improves fatigue life in the low‐cycle region. All specimens exhibited interior‐origin fatigue fractures initiated by facets or C atoms. DLC coating improves the tribological properties of β ‐Ti without reducing fatigue strength.
