Performance and fatigue life of coating parts are seriously restricted by their interfacial fatigue property. Herein, TiN films were deposited on W6Mo5Cr4V2 steel substrates by multiarc ion plating. The interfacial fatigue failure mechanisms were studied by the rolling contact fatigue method. The results show that the interfacial fatigue failure mode is mainly film spalling. The fatigue cracks generated initially at the film/substrate interface proceed to the surface, resulting in film spalling. The interfacial maximum shear stress amplitude (Δτinter) is a key factor for controlling interfacial crack initiation and propagation. The evolution model built using Δτinter and critical cycles (N) can be used to determine interfacial fatigue performance and for life forecast. The interfacial fatigue property is determined using a film/substrate interface, and glow discharge cleaning and prefabricated metal layer before coating deposition can improve interface fatigue performance. The evaluation model based on Δτinter-N curves can effectively used to identify the differences in interface states. Selection of the film-spalling area ratios of 5% and 50% and failure probabilities of 30%, 60%, and 90% have little effect on the determination of film/substrate interfacial fatigue performance. The results provide important theoretical references for fatigue performance determination and lifespan prediction of coated bearings and other parts.
