Surface morphology manipulation and wear property of bioceramic oxide coatings on titanium alloy

Improvement of the tribological performance in corrosive environment of CoCr alloy by TiSiON coatings

“…In load bearing applications, the synovial fluid plays an important role in reducing the friction and wear of the sliding surfaces. Therefore, previous studies have reported the use of different media in tribological experiments such as Hank's solution [13], SBF [5] or NaCl solution [14].…”

“…In this way, the metallic components covered with ceramic coatings can provide both the inertness of ceramics and the tensile strength of metallic alloys, minimizing the release of heavy metal ions and wear particles. Ceramic coatings, such as titanium oxides (TiO 2 [5]), titanium and silicon nitrides (TiN [6,7], SiN [8], TiSiN [9,10]), and titanium oxynitrides (TiON [6]) proved good biocompatibility and biomechanical properties, being proper for load bearing applications, such as knee and hip joints. Moreover, previous studies demonstrated that the addition of some amount of Si into the nitrides could improve their mechanical and tribological characteristics [11,12].…”

Zirconia coatings deposited by novel plasma‐enhanced aerosol–gel method

“…A large group of coating materials are metal oxides. The growing number of their applications include: electronics, microelectronics and photonics , optics , energy acquisition and processing , surface‐chemistry engineering , biomedical applications , and many more. The wide application range of oxide coatings as well as variety of substrates materials results in a diversity of production methods.…”

Hydroxyapatite coating deposited on grade 4 Titanium by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation

“…Recent studies have demonstrated the possibility of the deposition of HA films by PEO [28][29][30][31][32] 29,31 . Some results show that it is possible to deposit various phases of calcium phosphate, including hydroxyapatite 30,32 .…”
