Damping Properties of Arc Ion Plating NiCrAlY Coating with Vacuum Annealing

NiCrAlY coating was prepared on a stainless steel substrate by an arc ion plating machine and the annealing experiments were carried out at different temperatures using a tube furnace. The effects of annealing temperatures on the morphology, structure, chemical composition and phase structure of the coating were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD, respectively. The change of microstructure is di...

Ion Plating Can Improve Coating Adhesion

1. Easy to plate: steel, copper and brass. These can be coat* with adherent deposits that will riot fail at the deposit-substrate interface. 2. Special treatment: stainless steels, aluminum, beryllium, magnesium and plastics. These can also be coated with adherent deposits that will not fail at the deposit-substrate interface. 3. Very difsicult: titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, tantalum...

Coating Deposition Using Vacuum Arc and Ablation Metal Plasma

An innovative concept in the development of advanced coating deposition and ion implantation method including an application of filtered DC metal plasma or ablation plasma and highfrequency short-pulsed negative bias voltage with a duty factor in the range 10–99% are considered. It was shown that plasma based ion implantation as well as ion-assisted coating deposition may be realized for metal ...

In Vivo Osseointegration Performance of Titanium Dioxide Coating Modified Polyetheretherketone Using Arc Ion Plating for Spinal Implant Application

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which has biomechanical performance similar to that of human cancellous bone, is used widely as a spinal implant material. However, its bioinertness and hydrophobic surface properties result in poor osseointegration. This study applies a novel modification method, arc ion plating (AIP), that produces a highly osteoblast compatible titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings on...
