Solid state B-offerings (FeB compound) were used for plasma-assisted boronizing on Ti6Al4V alloy by double glow discharge plasma alloying technique (DGPSA). During all experiment processing there was no harmful and toxic. The thickness and morphology, phase formation, elements concentrations and wear properties of boride layers were examined by means of optical microscopy, Vickers microhardness, X-ray diffraction, glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy and Ball-disk wear tests. The results show that friction coefficient of boride alloying samples versus corundum ball is lower than that of Ti6Al4V samples, as well as wear rate. This indicates that plasma-assisted boronizing of Ti6Al4V alloy has a high potential for industrial applications under tribological conditions.
Molybdenum nitride(Mo-N) modified layer on Ti6Al4V alloy was obtained by the plasma surface alloying technique. The bacteria adherence property of the Mo-N modified layer on Ti6Al4V alloy on the oral bacteria Streptococcus Mutans was investigated and compared with that of Ti6Al4V alloy by fluorescence microscopy. The mechanism of the bacteria adherence was discussed. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffractometry(XRD),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and rough-meter. The results show that the Mo-N modified layer is composed of phase Mo2N(fcc) and Mo2N(tetr). There are Mo 3d,N 1s,C 1s and O 1s in the Mo-N modified layer Ti 2p,O 1s,C 1s,in the Ti6Al4V alloy. The surface roughness(Ra) of Ti6Al4V alloy and the Mo-N modified layer is(0.06±0.01) μm and(0.16±0.01) μm,respectively. The Mo-N modified layer inhibits the bacteria adherence. Mo and N on surface of modified layer play a vital role in inhibiting the bacteria adherence.
