Abstract

 To enhance the properties of titanium and its alloys for implant applications, NbC thin films were deposited on commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-7Nb specimens using a low-temperature plasma glow discharge technique with argon gas and C2H2 as a carbon source. Vicker's hardness tests were conducted, revealing significantly increased hardness in the coated samples, a finding supported by statistical analysis. This increased surface hardness will potentially improve the wear resistance and load-bearing capabilities, which are essential factors for dental and orthopedic implants. The study aligns with previous research on NbC's properties, positioning it as a promising material for dental implants. Importantly, the study underscores the reliability of the coating technique for implant surface modification.
