Abstract:The aim of this study is to further improve the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility of the material. We propose a novel method via double-glow plasma alloying–nitriding processing to obtain a Nb–Zr–N alloying layer on medical 316L (316LVM). The surface phase composition and microstructure were observed via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The three-dimensional confocal map of the samples was measured via laser profilometer, the static water contact… Show more
