Abstract:
Titanium/Baghdadite composite coatings have
been deposited on SS316L using cold spray technology to
explore their potential use as bio-implant coatings.
Microstructural and mechanical characterization have been
conducted to evaluate the quality of the coatings. The
electrochemical corrosion behavior of the developed
coatings has been evaluated in a simulated body fluid
environment. The results show that baghdadite content
influenced the corrosion resistance of coatings; more the
baghdadite content, better is the corrosion resistance. In
general, the developed coatings were successful in
enhancing the corrosion resistance of SS316L. Also, the
developed coatings outperformed earlier reported cold
sprayed titanium/hydroxyapatite composite coatings.
