Influence of Nanometer-Scale Multilayered Thin Films on Fatigue Crack Initiation

  • Published:
MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

The hypothesis that a thin nanometer-scale multilayered surface film could delay crack initiation and extend fatigue lives was evaluated by electrodepositing a Cu-Ni multilayer on Cu fatigue samples. A significant improvement in fatigue lives resulted and this improvement is attributed to properties of the multilayer coating.
