Abstract

Nickel-titanium shape memory alloys (NiTi) have potential applications as orthopedic implants but out-diffusion of harmful Ni from the NiTi substrate during prolonged use inside a human body is a serious issue and the problem must be solved before the materials can be more widely used in orthopedics. In this work, we produce TiN and TiO_x barrier layers by plasma immersion ion implantation (PHI) and study the effects of different working voltages (20kV, 30kV, and 40kV). The corrosion resistance of the plasma-treated materials is found to be much improved and the optimal processing windows are described in this paper. © 2005 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
