Influence of nitrogen flow rate in reducing tin microdroplets on biomedical ti-13zr- 13nb alloy
Shah, A1, Izman, S2, Hassan, M.A3.
Cathodic arc physical vapor deposition (CAPVD) is one of the promising techniques that have a potential to coat titanium
nitride (TiN) on biomedical implants due to its good adhesion and high evaporation rate. However, this method emits
microdroplets which have the possible detrimental effect on the coating performance. Past studies indicated that micro
droplets can be controlled through proper deposition parameters. In the present work, an attempt was made to study the
effect of nitrogen gas flow rates (100 to 300 sccm) on TiN coating of the Ti-13Zr-13Nb biomedical alloy. Scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) was used to evaluate surface morphology and coating thickness while crystal phase of the coated
substrates was determined using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Image analysis software was employed to quantify microdroplets
counts. Results show that higher nitrogen gas flow rate able to decrease a significant amount of microdroplets and
concurrently increase the thickness of TiN coating. A mixed crystal planes of (111) and (220) are obtained on the coated
substrates at this setting which exhibits denser structure with higher adhesion strength as compared to substrates coated at
the lower N2 gas flow rate.
