A systematic study of β-type Ti-based PVD coatings on magnesium for biomedical application

Synthesis of Ti-Al-xNb Ternary Alloys via Laser-Engineered Net Shaping for Biomedical Application: Densification, Electrochemical and Mechanical Properties Studies

“…These classes of materials are primarily utilized in implants that replace hard tissue [3][4][5]. Among biometals, titanium alloys have a high specific strength, biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance, and they display the most appropriate physical characteristics for biomedical applications [6][7][8]. On the other hand, titanium and titanium alloys cannot meet all the desired clinical requirements.…”

Progress in bioactive surface coatings on biodegradable Mg alloys: A critical review towards clinical translation

“…PVD is a standard coating process for Mg and Mg alloys effectively used for four decades for clinical applications. PVD is widely reported for producing high-density coatings with excellent adhesion strength [ 229 , 230 ]. In vacuum conditions, a negatively charged solid target is energized by the bombardment of inert gas atoms.…”

Anticorrosion behaviour and tribological properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy coated with Nb2O5/Nb2O5–Mg/Mg layer by magnetron sputtering

“…Among these, coating has been demonstrated to be one of the most effective approaches. At present, coating techniques used to modify Mg alloy for corrosion control mainly include physical vapor deposition (PVD), 5 sol–gel, 6 micro-arc oxidation, 7 and plasma electrolytic oxidation. 8 Among these, sputtering deposition, a commonly used PVD method of coating fabrication, can produce a coating consisting of different materials, including inorganic, organic, and metals.…”
