Improving structural, tribological and electrochemical properties of Ti6Al4V alloy with B-doped TiO2 thin films

Electrochemical Behavior of CoO/Ag2O/TiO2 Ceramic and Composite Coated Selective Laser Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel

“…When the ceramic coatings are considered in themselves, the difference in current density, resistance, and corrosion rates is thought to be related to two factors. The first of these is the structural properties of the film such as the thickness, roughness, integrity, and chemical content [5,6,34,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. The more homogeneous and compact the coatings are on the surface, the less deformation could be mentioned.…”

Enhancement of the tribological performance and surface wettability of Ti6Al4V biomedical alloy with boric/sulfuric acid anodic film

“…Also, it is seen that the peak densities changes as the anodization time increases. With the increase of the anodization time, both the increase in the peak density of the B 2 O 3 phase and the decrease in the peak density of the rutile-TiO 2 phases can be attributed to the binding possibility between oxygen and boron [9].…”

“…However, as a result of the studies carried out on Ti6Al4V, it has been determined that the tribological performance and especially the surface wettability properties in applications such as implants are insufficient [5][6][7][8]. Therefore, in the literature, various studies have been performed to enhance the surface wettability and tribological performance of Ti6Al4V [9][10][11][12][13][14]. When these studies were examined, it was understood that there was a remarkable improvement in the mechanical properties, wear resistance, biological response and electrochemical behavior of the substrate in experiments performed by forming boron or boron-based structures on the titanium surface [15][16][17] R Palanivel et al [18] pointed out that the formation of a solid lubricant with the addition of BN particles increased the wear resistance.…”

Sliding and Corrosion Wear of Magnetron Sputtered TiO2 Films Deposited with Different Argon and Oxygen Mixtures

“…Between the methods of obtaining thin films exist the chemical and physical processes, the most employed being the so-called sputtering, an advantage of the technique are: high homogeneity of the coatings, high chemical and mechanical stability of the same, possibility of oversized coating substrates at a relatively low cost [8][9][10][11]. The steel AISI 316LVM undergoes pitting corrosion, which has lead to its replacement with other materials as titanium alloys [12][13][14][15]. It generates the inert character as it does not react against bone, tissue, or body fluids.…”
