The effect of different PVD coatings and their thickness on the tensile and cyclic elastoplastic strain resistance of Kh18N10T stainless steel and VT1 and VT20 titanium alloys was experimentally substantiated. The application of PVD coatings, also after tension or cyclic loading, enhances tensile and cyclic elastoplastic strain resistance and leads to the change in fracture behavior (quasistatic to fatigue) and cyclic properties of the material.
