7075-T6 aluminium alloy is commonly adopted in high performance structures and components. Its fatigue behaviour is however dramatically worsened by exposure to aggressive environments. The deposition of PVD coatings, which are commonly adopted to increase the surface properties of structural elements in terms of hardness, contact fatigue and wear resistance, could be beneficial also for the fatigue behaviour of a 7075-T6 substrate in an aggressive environment. In the present work, Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) PVD coated 7075-T6 specimens immersed in methanol have been analysed, by means of step-loading rotating bending fatigue tests (R = -1) at 2·105 cycles. Coated specimens were tested in laboratory air for comparison, and uncoated polished samples were studied in both the environments to obtain reference values. SEM micrographs of the fracture surfaces were taken to investigate the effects of the corrosive environment on the failure mechanism.
