Fabrication of Al and Al/Ti coatings on magnesium alloy by sputtering

Multi-magnetron sputtering was applied to prepare aluminum coating and aluminum/titanium multilayer coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy. FESEM, AFM and XRD were used to investigate the morphology and phase structure of these obtained coatings. Aluminum coating presented a (111) preferred texture and this texture was strongly strengthened with the Ti(002) plane as template in Al/Ti multilayer coating. The top surface of Al/Ti-coated sample took on a round roof-like morphology compared to the pyramid-like morphology of Al-coated sample. The result of polarization tests showed that both Al coating and Al/Ti multilayer coating could improve the corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution.     

Treating orthopedic prosthesis with diamond-like carbon: minimizing debris in Ti6Al4V

Prostheses are subject to various forms of failing mechanisms, including wear from ordinary patient motion. Superficial treatments can improve tribological properties of the contact pair, minimizing wear and increasing prostheses lifetime. One possibility is the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating, where Carbon is deposited with variable ratio of sp²/sp³ structures, leading to an increase in surface hardness. So in this research Ti6Al4V samples were coated with DLC using sputtering process to evaluate the debris release. The Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al4V plus DLC coating surfaces were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and instrumented indentation (hardness). The wear behavior was tested using a reciprocating linear tribometer. The wear rate was smaller in the coated samples, producing less debris than the untreated Ti6Al4V alloy. Debris morphology was also evaluated, using scanning electronic microscopy, and it was observed that debris size from the coated samples were bigger than those observed from the uncoated Ti6Al4V alloy, above the size that generally triggers biological response from the host.     

Fabrication mechanism of nanostructured HA/TNTs biomedical coatings: an improvement in nanomechanical and in vitro biological responses

In this paper, a mechanism for fabrication of nanostructured hydroxyapatite coating on TiO₂ nanotubes is presented. Also, the physical, biological, and nanomechanical properties of the anodized Ti6Al4V alloy consisting TiO₂ nanotubes, electrodeposited hydroxyapatite, and the hydroxyapatite/TiO₂ nanotubes double layer coating on Ti6Al4V alloy implants are compared. Mean cell viability of the samples being 84.63?% for uncoated plate, 91.53?% for electrodeposited hydroxyapatite, and 94.98?% for hydroxyapatite/TiO₂ nanotubes coated sample were in the acceptable range. Merely anodized prototype had the highest biocompatibility of 110?% with respect to the control sample. Bonding strength of hydroxyapatite deposit to the substrate increased from 12?±?2?MPa to 25.4?±?2?MPa using intermediate TiO₂ nanotubes layer. Hardness and elastic modulus of the anodized surface were 956?MPa and 64.7?GPa, respectively. The corresponding values for hydroxyapatite deposit were approximately measured 44.3?MPa and 0.66?GPa, respectively, while the average obtained values for hardness (159.3?MPa) and elastic modulus (2.25?GPa) of the hydroxyapatite/TiO₂ nanotubes double coating improved more than 30?% of the pure hydroxyapatite deposit. Friction coefficient (ξ) of the anodized surface was 0.32?±?0.02. The calculated friction coefficient enhanced from 0.65?±?0.04 for sole hydroxyapatite layer to the 0.46?±?0.02 for hydroxyapatite/TiO₂ nanotubes due to presence of nanotubular TiO₂ intermediate layer.     

Effect of Vacuum Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Tribological Property of Ti–6Al–4V Alloy with Cu Coating

The effect of vacuum heat treatment on the interface microstructure and tribological property of Cu-coated Ti – 6Al – 4V alloy is investigated herein. After the vacuum heat treatment process, a diffusion layer is formed at the interface between the Cu coating and the Ti – 6Al – 4V substrate. The formed intermetallic compounds at the interface between the Ti – 6Al – 4V substrate and Cu coating are CuTi₂, CuTi, Cu₄Ti₃, and β-Cu₄Ti. The activation energy of intermetallic compound growth in the diffusion zone of Cu-coated Ti – 6Al – 4V is 126.0 kJ mol⁻¹, and the pre-exponential factor is 0.1 m² s⁻¹. The tribological properties of the Cu-coated Ti – 6Al – 4V alloy are best when subjected to diffusion treatment at 700 °C for 300 min, with weight loss reduced by 58.2% compared to the Ti – 6Al – 4V alloy. The wear resistance of the Ti – 6Al – 4V alloy can be enhanced by Cu coating and vacuum diffusion heat treatment, and the formation of the Cu – Ti intermetallic compound contributes to this improvement. These findings offer new insights for further advancements in the tribological properties of titanium alloys.

Corrosion behavior of Ti–Al–N/Ti–Al duplex coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy in NaCl aqueous solution

In this study, Ti–Al–N/Ti–Al duplex coating was deposited on AZ31 magnesium alloy by magnetron sputtering with a Ti/Al composite target. Scanning electron microscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy were applied to investigate the morphology and elemental concentration of the obtained coating, respectively. The top layer was Ti–Al–N film with a Ti:Al:O:N ratio of 0.32:0.84:0.08:1, and the bottom layer was Ti–Al film with a Ti:O:Al ratio of 1.94:0.12:1. Each layer of this coating presented a developed columnar structure. The polarization test and immersion test were used to investigate corrosion behavior of the coated sample in 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution. The results showed that this duplex coating could protect the substrate effectively in NaCl aqueous solution. Nevertheless, several through-thickness micropores in the coating finally induced the failure of the coated AZ31 in the immersion test.     

The Influence of a Small Boron Addition on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ti‐6Al‐4V Fabricated by Metal Injection Moulding

The effect of boron additions on the sintering behavior, microstructural development, and mechanical properties of a Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy fabricated by metal injection moulding (MIM) was studied. The addition of boron promotes a significant refinement of the microstructure by changing the microstructure from the typical lamellar to a more equiaxed morphology. The presence of both features: α colonies and α grains were confirmed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) experiments. Furthermore, the pinning effect of TiB particles on grain boundary motion enhances the densification process due to the fact that the separation of pores and grain boundaries is suppressed. As a result of the refinement of the microstructure achieved by adding 0.5 wt% boron to the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy, excellent tensile (σ_0.2 = 787 MPa, UTS = 902 MPa and ε = 12%) and fatigue (endurance limit = 640 MPa) properties were obtained.     

Growth and corrosion of aluminum PVD-coating on AZ31 magnesium alloy

Magnetron sputtering was applied to prepare aluminum coating on a mechanically polished AZ31 magnesium alloy. A loose oxide film was spontaneously formed on the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloy during polishing process. The aluminum coating, which was subsequently deposited on this oxide layer, presented a developed columnar microstructure. Attributed to the barrier effect of Al coating, the Al coated AZ31 showed a higher corrosion resistance than bare AZ31 in corrosion tests. Generally, Al coating is cathodically protected by magnesium alloy substrate. But it is interesting in this study that Al coating still suffered from severe corrosion due to the occurrence of the alkalization effect.
