Abstract

In this study, effect of EB-PVD coated Si/HA film thickness on surface characteristics of Ti-35Nb-10Zr alloy was investigated. The Ti-35Nb-10Zr alloy was fabricated by arc melting method. The Si/HA layers were coated with 0.8 wt.% of Si in pure HA by EB-PVD method. The coating thickness was consisted with 100 - 300 nm for each group, the surface characteristics was analyzed by FE-SEM, EDS, XRD, XRF and corrosion test. The Si/HA coating layer was well deposited on the alloy surface by EB-PVD, the thickness was correlative factor with HA peaks and corrosion resistance value.
