A Ta coating has been successfully fabricated on the surface of zirconia polycrystals ceramic (3 mol% yttria, 3Y-TZP) by a plasma surface alloying technique. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that a α-Ta coating with a continuous and compact surface morphology which consisted of a deposited layer with a thickness of 390 nm and a diffusion layer with a thickness of 200 nm covered the 3Y-TZP. Due to the effect of inhabitation the t→m transformation by the deposited Ta coating, the biaxial flexural strength caused by the phase transformation during hydrothermal aging is reduced e.g., p < 0.05 after 20 h and/or 100 h. In addition, the Ta coating shows non-cytotoxicity and improved proliferation ability of osteoblasts.

Cu – Cr alloyed layers with different Cu and Cr contents on pure titanium were obtained by means of plasma surface alloying technology. The microstructure, chemical composition and phase composition of Cu – Cr alloyed layers were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the alloyed layers are bonded strongly to pure titanium substrate and consist of unbound Ti , CuTi , Cu 3 Ti , CuTi 3 and Cr 2 Ti . The thickness of Cu 5 Cr 5 and Cu 7 Cr 3 alloyed layer are about 18 μm and 28 μm, respectively. The antibacterial properties against gram-negative Escherichia coli (E.coli, ATCC10536) and gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, ATCC6538) of untreated pure titanium and Cu – Cr alloyed specimen were investigated by live/dead fluorescence staining method. The study shows that Cu – Cr alloyed layers exhibit excellent antibacterial activities against both E.coli and S.aureus within 24 h, which may be attributed to the formation of Cu -containing phases.

TiAl-Cr alloy was prepared on surface of TiAl based alloy by plasma surface alloying technique. The wear resistance of the surface alloy was examined under various wear condition. During the room temperature ball-on-dic sliding test, the TiAl-Cr surface alloy showed reduced friction and improved wear resistance. For the 500°C sliding and room temperature fretting tests, the friction coefficient of TiAl-Cr surface alloy was a little higher than that of TiAl-based alloy, but the wear volume showed significant reducing, the wear resistance was improved obviously. The addition of chromium increases the strength and hardness of the TiAl-based alloy, and therefore the load bearing and anti-adhesion capacity of the surface were also enhanced, these were the main mechanisms for the improvement of wear resistance.

A niobium modified layer on Ti-6Al-4V surface was obtained by means of the plasma surface alloying technique. The oxidation behavior of the modified layer was investigated and compared with Ti-6Al-4V at 700°C~900°C for 100h. Composition and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V and the modified layer after oxidation at 900°C for 100h were analyzed using XRD and SEM respectively. The experimental results showed the oxidation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V at 900°C for 100h was obviously improved after the niobium alloying process.

A novel process has been developed to improve tribological and corrosion properties of austenitic stainless steel (S. S). Titanium nitride coatings were obtained by plasma surface alloying technique. Nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide was synthesized by oxidative annealing the resulted TiNx coatings in air. The microstructure of TiO2coatings was characterized by SEM, GDOES, XPS and XRD, respectively. Simulated body solution (Hanks’ solution, 37°C) was used to characterize the electrochemical corrosion properties of the coatings and substrate. Ball-on-disc sliding wear was applied to test and compare the tribological behaviors of the coatings and substrate against Al2O3ball. Results reveal that the resultant coatings have a layered structure, comprising of N-doped TiO2layer at the top and a diffuse-type interface. Such a hybrid coatings system shows good adhesion with the substrate. Composition analysis shows that the coatings shield the substrate entirely. The N-doped TiO2coatings are anatase in structure as characterized by X-ray diffraction. The electrochemical measurements show that the corrosion potential positively shifts from -0.267 V for bare S. S to -0.275 V for N-doped TiO2coated S. S, and the corrosion current density decreases from 1.3 × 10-5A/cm2to 4.1 ×10-6A/cm2. Under a load of 7.6 N, the coefficient of friction is in the range of 0.27~0.38 for the N-doped TiO2and the wear rate of the coatings is only one-fourteenth of that for untreated 316L S. S. Duplex-treated N-doped TiO2coatings display much better wear resistance and antifriction performance than that of S. S.
