Abstract
Ti6Al4V alloy composite coatings in-situ reinforced with TiB-TiN were deposited on Ti substrate using plasma spraying. Influence of plasma power (50 and 60 kW) and deposition speed (40 and 50 mm/s) on coating microstructure and bio-tribocorrosion performance was analyzed. Process parameters found to have strong influence on the tribocorrosion behavior and the material loss/damage of these coatings was found to be significantly less than that of Ti substrate. However, corrosion played a dominant role in affecting the wear and overall damage of all materials. Present in-situ composite coatings reinforced TiB-TiN exhibited superior tribocorrosion resistance than Ti substrate as a result of their high hardness and non-passivating nature.
