Abstract
The work deals with the technology of microplasma spraying of biocompatible coatings from Zr‒Nb alloy and their properties. On the surface of a porous Zr‒Nb coating with the most developed surface microrelief, the presence of both open macropores of up to 300 μm in size and micropores of up to 10 μm in size was revealed. The X-ray phase analysis of the formed Zr‒Nb coatings showed the presence of phases of α-solid solution of Zr, oxide (ZrO2), nitride (ZrN) and carbide (ZrNbC2). The corrosion resistance of a microplasma Zr‒Nb coating and Ti6Al4V alloy in a solution of 0.9 % NaCl, which simulates the environment of the human body, was determined. It is assumed that Zr‒Nb alloy coatings produced by microplasma spraying on the surfaces of existing Ti6Al4V alloy endoprostheses will allow for the future improvement in corrosion resistance and osseointegration between the bone and the implant.
Keywords: microplasma spraying, biocompatible coating, Zr‒Nb alloy, surface morphology, adhesion strength, corrosion resistance
