Abstract

Stainless steel 316L (SS316L) and titanium-alloy Ti6AL4V exhibit properties for bio-medical applications; however their tribocorrosion associated with metallosis is still a major concern. Therefore smoothing DLC coatings aiming for the improvement of tri-bocorrosion and cell viability of stainless steel 316L (SS316L) and titanium-alloy Ti6AL4V with and without DLC coatings were compared. The motivation was due to many papers detailing metallosis caused by metal debris in the body's soft tissues. Nowadays, metallosis is responsible for almost of prosthesis replacement surgeries. DLC coatings were produced using the Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique; acetylene gas was used as a carbon precursor, and silane gas produced an amorphous silicon interface between the DLC coating and metal substrate. A combined setup of techniques thoroughly evaluated the coatings considering chemical composition, coatings adhesion at a metallic substrate, scratch resistance, and tribocorrosion susceptibility. The cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of metallic samples with and without DLC coatings were analyzed, considering cell viability and its correlation with coatings’ chemical composition
