Thermochemical Method for Coating AISI 316L Stainless Steel with Ti
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
This paper presents a thermochemical method, based on a mixture of molten alkaline halides to produce a Ti coating on AISI 316L stainless steel. The thickness of the coatings is a function of temperature and time. It is observed that the physical form of the Ti source employed affects both coating thickness and morphology. The formation of several inter-diffusion layers is detected, each having a characteristic chemical composition, morphology and location at the substrate/coating interface. It is proposed that some of the produced Ti coatings can be employed to improve osseointegration of stainless steel for potential prosthetic devices.
