Wear and Corrosion Resistance of ZrN Coatings Deposited on Ti6Al4V Alloy for Biomedical Applications

Zirconium nitrides films were synthesized on Ti6Al4V substrates at a bias voltage of −50 V, −80 V, −110 V and −150 V by the direct current (DC) reactive magnetron sputtering technique. The as-deposited coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The wear and corrosion resistance of the obtained ZrN coatings were evaluated to determine the possibility for their implementation in modern biomedical applications. It was found that the intensity of the diffraction peak of the Zr-N phase corresponding to the (1 1 1) crystallographic plane rose as the bias voltage increased, while the ZrN coatings’ thickness reduced from 1.21 µm to 250 nm. The ZrN films’ surface roughness rose up to 75 nm at −150 V. Wear tests showed an increase in the wear rate and wear intensity as the bias voltage increased. Corrosion studies of the ZrN coatings were carried out by three electrochemical methods: open circuit potential (OCP), cyclic voltammetry (polarization measurements) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). All electrochemical measurements confirmed that the highest protection to corrosion is the ZrN coating, which was deposited on the Ti6Al4V substrate at a bias voltage of −150 V.
