A Cr13Ni5Si2-based composite coating was successfully deposited on copper by pulse laser induction hybrid cladding (PLIC), and its high-temperature wear behavior was investigated. Temperature evolutions associated with crack behaviors in PLIC were analyzed and compared with pulse laser cladding (PLC) using the finite element method. The microstructure and present phases were analyzed using scan...

Bone implants must be biocompatible and are usually built to promote osseointegration, e.g. by application of plasma spray calcium phosphate (CaP) coating. The risk of infection and biofilm formation on implant surfaces is a well-known problem. The combination of electrochemically deposited CaP coating with antibiotics may offer significant benefits. Here, we demonstrate an innovative in situ e...

Plasma co-polymers (co-p) were deposited with an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) using a precursor mixture containing hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and limonene. A coating fragments from both precursors siloxane, carbonyl nitrogen functional groups was deposited. The flow rate of limonene found to be important parameter for co-polymerization tune the formation structure groups. FTIR XPS a...

A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...

High performance coatings tailored to medical devices represent a recognised approach to modulate surface properties. Plasma-deposited fluorocarbon films have been proposed as a potential stent coating. Previous studies have shown promising adhesion properties: the 35 nm-thick film sustained plastic deformation up to 25% such as induced during the clinical implantation. In this study, the compo...

A significant improvement of tribological properties on Ti-6Al-4V has been achieved by developed in this study multilayer treatment method for the titanium alloys. This treatment consists of an intermediate 2 μm thick TiCxNy layer which has been deposited by the reactive arc evaporation onto a diffusion hardened material with interstitial O or N atoms by glow discharge plasma in the atmosphere ...

In this paper the effect of plasma spray parameters, atomizing gas and substrate preheat temperature on microstructure and phase composition of YSZ coatings produced by SPPS process have been investigated. The experimental results showed that increasing the power of plasma, using hydrogen as the precursor atomizing gas and increasing substrate preheat temperature decrease the amount of non-pyro...

In this paper a functional graded material (FGM) thermal barrier coating (TBC) is prepared using Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) method. The FGM layers were deposited by varying the feeding ratio of CYSZ/NiCrAlY and conventional CYSZ on a NiCrALY-coated Inconel 738 substrates. Hot corrosion behavior, bonding strength and the related failure mechanisms of a conventional TBC and a FGM TBC are i...
