Nanostructured multi-element (TiZrNbHfTa)N and (TiZrNbHfTa)C hard coatings
TL;DR: Multi-element (TiZrNbHfTa)N and multi-element C coatings were deposited on C45 and M2 steel substrates by co-sputtering of pure metallic Ti, Zr, Nb, Hf and Ta targets in Ar+N2 and Ar+CH4 reactive atmospheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of multi-principal-element (TiZrNbHfTa)N and (TiZrNbHfTa)C coatings for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: Cell viability tests proved that the osteoblast cells were adherent to the coated substrates, and a very high percentage of live cells were observed on sample surfaces, after 72 h incubation time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of titanium oxy-nitride thin films
Mariana Braic,Mihai Balaceanu,Alina Vladescu,A. Kiss,Viorel Braic,G. Epurescu,Gheorghe Dinescu,Antoniu Moldovan,R. Birjega,Maria Dinescu +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different flow rate ratios of the reactive gases (O 2 and N 2 ) on the properties of the TiN x O y films deposited by two different methods: rf pulsed laser deposition (rf PLD) and reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering (RPM).
Journal ArticleDOI
A biodegradable AZ91 magnesium alloy coated with a thin nanostructured hydroxyapatite for improving the corrosion resistance
T.M. Mukhametkaliyev,Maria A. Surmeneva,Alina Vladescu,Cosmin Mihai Cotrut,Cosmin Mihai Cotrut,Mariana Braic,Mihaela Dinu,Maria Diana Vranceanu,Iulian Pana,M Mueller,Roman A. Surmenev +10 more
TL;DR: The results revealed the capability of the HA coating to significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the uncoated AZ91 alloy.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The hydroxyapatite enriched with Ti were prepared as possible candidates for biomedical applications especially for implantable devices that are in direct contact to the bone and showed the presence of more cells on the surface of Ti-enriched hydroxyabatite than those observed on thesurface of the uncoated alloys or undoped hydroxyAPatite.
