Enhancing the corrosion protection of Ti-6Al-4V alloy through reactive sputtering niobium oxide thin films

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

“…It is reported that Nb 2 O 5 coating can signicantly increase the corrosion resistance of metal implant materials, including magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, and stainless steel. [10][11][12] Nb 2 O 5 coating can promote hydroxyapatite formation, cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation, and improve alkaline phosphatase activity. 13,14 Compared with metal substrates such as 316L 12 and Ti6Al4V, 15 Nb 2 O 5 coating has lower cytotoxicity and lesser induced inammation.…”

Laser-Induced Slippery Liquid-Infused Surfaces with Anticorrosion and Wear Resistance Properties on Aluminum Alloy Substrates

“…Aluminum (Al) alloy materials are indispensable in the industrial field due to their high strength, low density, and good processing performance, which are widely used in various fields such as electronic engineering, petrochemical engineering, and aerospace. − However, corrosion occurs when all alloy materials are exposed to the atmosphere, seawater, soil, and other media, resulting in equipment damage and huge economic losses. − Al has high electrochemical activity, and Al alloys are easy to be corroded in many application environments, especially in chloride solutions, which seriously restricts their promotion and applications in various fields. , Therefore, how to effectively reduce the surface corrosion of materials has become an important issue in the surface treatment of Al alloy materials. − …”

New Findings Regarding the Thermal Oxidation and Biomimetic Depositions on the Corrosion Resistance of the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

“…In general, implant failure reasons include infections, fractures, septic inflammations, and corrosion processes [2]. Titanium alloys have been widely used in several sectors owing to its excellent properties, such as high specific strength, low density, and good biocompatibility [3,4]. However, one of the main disadvantages observed in the use of titanium alloy implants is the premature failure due to the localised and global corrosion processes [5].…”
