DLC FILMS ON Ti6Al4V SUBSTRATES OF NANOINDENTATION, SURFACE ROUGHNESS FOR LASER POWDER BED FUSION WAS PERFORMED UTILIZING ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT MATERIALS

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on titanium alloy Ti 6 Al 4 V substrates were tested with nanoindentation and surface roughness to look at the hardness and roughness of the coating and substrate systems as well as their mechanical properties. The powdered titanium alloy Ti 6 Al 4 V used in the substrate specimen was produced using laser powder bed fusion, an additive manufacturing process. In this study, we investigated the influence of substrates on the nanoindentation and surface roughness of the DLC film layer with an estimated [Formula: see text]m thickness on Ti 6 Al 4 V substrates. The findings of the nanoindentation show that the reaction to the impact was more flexible than expected. Maximum load, residual nanoindentation depth, hardness, and modulus may influence mechanical properties. The DLC-film Ti 6 Al 4 V substrate materials’ top surface roughness is measured. As a result of the increased load-carrying ability of DLC/Ti 6 Al 4 V, Ti 6 Al 4 V is a superior choice for substrate materials for DLC films, A DLC coating, measuring [Formula: see text] m in thickness, was applied to a Ti 6 Al 4 V substrate utilizing a 5-min chromium deposition process. The biocompatibility of the substrates plays a crucial role in determining the DLC films capacity to prolong the lifespan of bone implants.
