Abstract

Phase-structural characteristics and the corrosion resistance of coatings ZrN, (Zr,Ti)N, (Zr,Hf)N, (Zr,Nb)N, (Ti,Zr,Hf)N and (Ti,Zr,Nb)N, which were deposited on a Ti6Al-4V titanium alloy substrate, were investigated. It was found that the titanium substrate has a crystalline structure, including grains with high (up to 24 at.%) and low (less than 2 at.%) vanadium content. Thus, during the deposition process, the coating can form adhesive bonds with local areas of the substrate that have quite different compositions. The diffusion of the coating elements into the substrate takes place up to a depth of 200 nm. The diffusion of titanium alloy elements (primarily titanium and vanadium) into the adhesive sublayer of the coating to a depth of 100 nm is also observed. Corrosion studies were carried out in 1M solutions with acidic (H2SO4), alkaline (NaOH) and neutral (NaCl) media at a constant temperature of 50 °C. The actual change in the mass of the samples during corrosion tests is extremely small. The protective coatings under study have very high anti-corrosion characteristics and practically do not react with solutions that imitate the liquid environments of the human body.
