Purpose
SS316L alloy used in biomedical application and the alloy have Fe, Cr and Ni elements and release this ion into the human body causing dangerous effects for the human body, and make the SS316L, which is used as surgical implant failure in short time in biomedical application. This study aims to use Ti6Al4V as coating for SS316L alloy to make it have bio inert surface, and modified the surface alloy for biomedical application from another part in this study, we want to decrease the corrosion rate for SS316L in simulated body surface Ringer solution.
Design/methodology/approach
The morphology, roughness, XRD of the coating, potential polarization and electrochemical impedance spectra investigation to study the effect of Ti6Al4V coating on corrosion behaviors of SS316L in the Ringer solution.
Findings
This study discusses the modification of SS316L surfaces by using Ti6Al4V radio magnetron frequency sputtering techniques, the results of the EIS and polarization of SS316L in Ringer’s solution at 37°C shows that improved resistance against corrosive ions for all the samples coating with Ti6Al4V and especially with a coating have a thickness of 850 nm at a sputtering power of 150 W.
Research limitations/implications
Polarization and electro chemical impedance spectra were assessed to investigate the effect of Ti6Al4V coating on corrosion behaviors of SS316L alloy in the Ringer solution.
Practical implications
This study discussed the modification SS316L surfaces by using Ti6Al4V radio magnetron frequency sputtering techniques. The results of the EIS and polarization of SS316L in Ringer’s solution at 37°C improved resistance against corrosive ions for all the samples coating with a Ti6Al4V and specificity with the coating sample have a thickness 850 nm at a sputtering power of 150 W.
Social implications
The goal of this study to modification SS316L alloy surface by using Ti6al4V RF Sputtering to give the SS316L alloy more resistance for biocorrosion.
Originality/value
In this research, Ti6Al4V RF sputtering as a coating for SS316L, study the bio corrosion behaviors in Simulated body fluid Ringer solution and investigation the corrosion by using EIS analysis.
Biocompatibility for the alloys which are used in the human body such as biomaterials depending on corrosion behavior. This study aim at research was to study the corrosion action and the biocompatibility of the samples of SS316L alloy uncoated and coated and compare the effect of coatings on corrosion behavior. Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) coating was do it by (EPD) technique on SS316L alloy . Structural investigation by using techniques including XRD , microstructure and crystalline of the coatings investigation in this study. Electrochemical measurement when effort the exams has been done in simulated body solution (Ringer and artificial saliva) in order to know the limitation and comparison the corrosion behavior of the gilder samples and clumsily samples as an evi- dence biocompatibility. Corrosion behavior for these coated specimens was more nobler than for the uncoated specimens.
