In this study, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings were fabricated and modified graphene (MGr) was used as an oil additive to enhance the tribological properties of Ti6Al4V. The results show that: the friction coefficient of Ti6Al4V is significantly reduced when lubricated by the modified oil, and the friction coefficients of the MAO coatings are much lower than those of Ti6Al4V with Polyα olefin synthetic oils that are added with modified graphene (PAO–MGr). The mainly wear form of Ti6Al4V is mainly adhesive, while that of the MAO coating is abrasive. Furthermore, the peaks of typical graphene were observed in the friction region using Raman spectroscopy . The modified graphene enters the porous structure of the MAO coating and forms a stable graphene transfer film, thereby achieving a low friction coefficient and wear.

In this study, the carbon fiber reinforced ZrB 2 -SiC composite ceramic was joined to Ti6Al4V alloy with Ag-Cu eutectic alloy filler at varied holding time and a fixed temperature of 800℃. Interface microstructure and shear strength of brazing joints were studied. The brazed ZSC f ceramics/AgCu/TC4 alloy is endowed with good metallurgical bondings. A typical interfacial structure of joints brazed for 10 min was found as ZSC f /TiC/Ti 5 Si 3 /Ag(s,s)/Cu(s,s) + TiC/TiCu/Ti 2 Cu/(TiC + TiCu)/TC4 alloy. Increase of holding time did not vary the precipitated phase of the joints but decreased thickness of the Ag(s, s) and Cu(s, s) reaction layer and gradually thickened the Ti-Cu reaction layer near the TC4 side. The formation process of reaction products was discussed in detail. The holding time substantially influenced shear strength of the joints. A maximum shear strength of 39 MPa was reached at a brazing time of 20 min.

In this study, laser-assisted micro-arc oxidation (LMAO) processing was carried out on Ti6Al4V alloy under laser powers of 30, 45, and 60 W, and the influence of the laser power on the microstructure and wear resistance of the coating was further investigated. The breakdown voltage and termination voltages of LMAO processing decrease gradually as the laser power increases. At the same time, micro-discharges increase in quantity. Within the suitable laser power range (30–45 W), the obtained coating continuously enhances uniformity, thickness, and density with rising power, contributing to higher hardness and adhesion strength . However, raising laser power to 60 W will damage the obtained coating due to the violent micro-discharges, which generate interconnected larger pores in the local area. Laser power also affects the coating's reaction process and phase transition. More electrolyte ions dope into the coating as a consequence of increasing laser power. The Si concentration of the LMAO-45 coating is the highest, whereas that of the LMAO-60 coating comparatively reduces due to localized coating detachment. Moreover, enhancing laser power is more conducive to forming SiO 2 and rutile-TiO 2 phases. Compared with the traditional MAO or other LMAO coatings, the LMAO-45 coating significantly improves wear protection, evidenced by the lowest COF value , the minimum wear rate, and the least peeling during the wear test . Low porosity, surface roughness , high thickness, and increased incorporation of the SiO 2 phase are responsible for the same. However, under 60 W of laser irradiation , the wear resistance of the resultant LMAO coating decreased due to the formation of local damaged areas.

To improve the biotribological properties of Ti6Al4V alloy for artificial joints, motivated by the composite structure of ‘natural articular cartilage - subchondral bone’ and the hydration lubrication mechanism of articular cartilage, a soft/hard bilayer coating composed of a porous TiO 2 layer and a zwitterionic hydrogel coating was designed and fabricated on Ti6Al4V alloy through micro-arc oxidation (MAO) combined with ultraviolet (UV) radiation technology. Characterization results revealed that the bio-inspired bilayer coating could be successfully constructed on Ti6Al4V alloy, and such a coating displayed good hydrophilicity (WCA: 32°). Notably, by ball - on - disk friction test, this biomimetic bilayer coating exhibited an ultra-low friction coefficient (∼0.038) in PBS solution, which was reduced by an order of magnitude compared with that of the Ti6Al4V alloy substrate. This was due to the synergistic effects of soft/hard composite structure and the hydration lubrication of zwitterionic MPC polymer. This work provides a novel and effective strategy for surface modification of Ti6Al4V alloy for artificial joints.

Restoration of the lubrication functions of articular cartilage is an effective treatment to alleviate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Herein, we fabricated chitosan- block -poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (CS-b-pSBMA) copolymer via a free radical polymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate onto activated chitosan segment, structurally mimicking the lubricating biomolecules on cartilage. The successful copolymerization of CS-b-pSBMA was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance. Friction test confirmed that the CS-b-pSBMA copolymer could achieve an excellent lubrication effect on artificial joint materials such as Ti6Al4V alloy with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.008, and on OA-simulated cartilage, better than the conventional lubricant hyaluronic acid, and the adsorption effect of lubricant on cartilage surface was proved by a fluorescence labeling experiment. In addition, CS-b-pSBMA lubricant possessed an outstanding stability, which can withstand enzymatic degradation and even a long-term storage up to 4 weeks. In vitro studies showed that CS-b-pSBMA lubricant had a favorable antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility. In vivo studies confirmed that the CS-b-pSBMA lubricant was stable and could alleviate the degradation process of cartilage in OA mice. This biomimetic lubricant is a promising articular joint lubricant for the treatment of OA and cartilage restoration.

Titanium alloys with excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility are widely used in surgical implants. However, due to its poor tribological properties, it is difficult to be used in joint bearing interfaces. Herein, mimicking the soft/hard hierarchical structure of articular cartilage/subchondral bone and the unique lubrication mechanisms of articular cartilage, a biomimetic bilayer coating consisting of a TiO 2 layer and a hydrogel layer was fabricated on laser-textured Ti6Al4V alloy by laser surface texturing, thermal oxidation and ultraviolet radiation techniques. Meanwhile, a zwitterionic polymer (SBMA) was introduced into the hydrogel layer to provide hydration lubrication. The experimental results demonstrated that the introduction of SBMA greatly improved the hydrophilicity and compressive modulus of the hydrogel layer. Compared with Ti6Al4V, the Ti6Al4V-hydrogel bearing interface exhibited a lower friction coefficient (0.06) and better wear resistance when lubricated in deionized water. More importantly, this Ti6Al4V-hydrogel bearing interface could maintain stable and low friction coefficients when lubricated in different physiological solutions for a long-term friction (4 h), and the lowest friction coefficient (0.039) was measured in phosphate buffer (PBS) solution. The outstanding biotribological performance was mainly attributed to the biphasic and hydration lubrication mechanisms of the hydrogel layer. This study provides new insights into the development of Ti6Al4V bearing interfaces for artificial joints.
