Abstract
The results of vacuum-arc deposition of thin bilayer ZrTa/ZrTaO2 coatings on the surface of titanium dental implants, AISI-316L stainless steel are presented. The structure, phase and chemical composition of deposited coatings have been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis XRD. Nanomechanical properties have been investigated by nanoindentation method. The obtained results can be useful for optimization of implant surfaces to prevent corrosion and mechanical failure, thereby improving osseointegration.
