Abstract
Biomedical Ti alloys are prone to undergo degradation due to the combined effect of wear and corrosion. To overcome these problems, surface modification techniques are being used. In this paper, the biomedical Ti alloy Ti–13Nb–13Zr was plasma sprayed with nanostructured Al2O3–13 wt%TiO2, yttria stabilized zirconia powders and bilayer containing alternate layers of the two coatings to improve the corrosion resistance and microhardness of the substrate. The plasma sprayed coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The microstructure, microhardness and surface roughness of the coatings were investigated. The corrosion resistance of the coatings was studied in simulated body conditions. The results show improved corrosion resistance for the bilayered coating compared to the individual plasma sprayed coatings on biomedical Ti–13Nb–13Zr alloy substrate.
