Çelik, Ilhan
Titanium and its alloys are widely used in many fields, including aerospace and the chemical and biomedical industries. This is due to their mechanical properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility although they do have poor wear resistance. In this study, a duplex layer was successfully formed on the commercially pure titanium surface by duplex treatments (plasma nitriding and physical vapor deposition (PVD)). In the initial treatment, plasma nitriding was performed on the pure titanium samples and in the second treatment, the nitrided samples were coated with CrN by PVD. The friction and wear properties of the duplex-treated samples were investigated for tribological applications. Surface morphology and microstructure of the duplex-treated samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the tribological properties were investigated using pin-on-disc tribometer. A compound layer composed of ϵ-Ti2N and δ-TiN phases and a diffusion layer formed under the compound layer were obtained on the surface of pure titanium after the nitriding treatments. CrN coated on the nitrided surface provided an increase in the surface hardness and in the wear resistance.

Titanium and its alloys are widely used as materials for bio-medical applications, such as implants. However, ions of the alloy can release to the body region and spread into the blood circulation. In this study, plasma nitriding and CrN coating techniques are used in order to overcome the problem of ion release. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of plasma nitrided pure titanium on the structural properties and corrosion behaviors before and after CrN coating in Ringer's solution at 37 °C. The structural properties were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). A diffusion layer and a compound layer composed of δ-TiN and ε-Ti2N phases were observed on the surface of nitrided pure titanium. Corrosion tests were made for the determination of electrochemical properties with the help of Potentiostat/Galvanostat device. The results show that corrosion behaviors of untreated and treated samples have similar characteristic.
