Microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured Ti-22Nb-10Zr coatings

Abstract

The design of implants and functional prostheses requires superficial modifications that promote fast and lasting osseointegration. Magnetron sputtering enables to design nanostructured and textured β-Ti rich Ti-22Nb-10Zr (wt.%) coatings with variable mechanical properties (hardness and Young's modulus).
