Description

TC4 material with wear-resistant surface and low biotoxicity and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a TC4 material, in particular to a TC4 material with a surface plated with a Si-doped diamond-like composite coating, and also relates to a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of biomedical material preparation.
Background
TC4 (Ti 6Al 4V) has high specific strength, ideal fatigue strength, corrosion resistance, low elastic modulus, excellent formability and biocompatibility, and is widely applied to the biomedical field.
Although TC4 possesses many excellent properties, TC4 has many disadvantages in medical applications, TC4 is biologically inert and has poor wear resistance, which can easily cause bacterial infection, leading to implantation failure. TC4 can leak Al and V elements in the human body over a long period of time, causing cytotoxicity. TC4 has the disadvantage of low mechanical strength and is prone to complications such as breakage, loosening and the like.
If a proper biological coating is adopted on the surface of TC4, the biocompatibility can be improved, and film layers prepared on the surface of titanium alloy mainly by anodic oxidation and micro-arc oxidation are adopted in the prior art, but contain a large number of micropores and cracks and are easy to peel off in the friction process. The diamond-like coating has the advantages of good compactness, good corrosion resistance, good chemical stability and the like, but the diamond-like coating prepared on TC4 materials in the prior art has the problems of large internal stress, poor toughness and the like of the coating, and the problems of stripping and cracking of the coating in actual use occur.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects existing in the prior art, the first aim of the invention is to provide a TC4 material with wear-resistant surface and low biological toxicity, the surface friction coefficient of the TC4 material can be effectively reduced, the wear resistance and hardness of the TC4 material can be improved, and the release of Al and V elements in the TC4 material after being implanted into a human body can be effectively reduced by plating a Si-doped diamond-like composite coating on the surface of the TC4 material, so that the biocompatibility of the TC4 material is obviously improved, the bonding force between the Si-doped diamond-like composite coating and the TC4 material is high, the stability is good, and the service life of the TC4 material is prolonged.
The invention also aims to provide a preparation method of the TC4 material with the surface wear resistance and low biological toxicity, which is used for preparing the silicon-doped diamond composite coating by combining an unbalanced intermediate frequency magnetron sputtering method and a direct current arc PECVD method, has the advantages of simple operation, easy and accurate control and the like, and is beneficial to industrial production.
In order to achieve the technical aim, the invention provides a TC4 material with wear-resistant surface and low biotoxicity, which is prepared by plating a silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating on the surface of a TC4 matrix; the silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating is formed by alternately superposing N silicon transition film layers and N silicon-doped diamond-like film layers; wherein N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
Compared with the existing diamond-like coating, the silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating can effectively improve the comprehensive performance of the diamond-like film by introducing a proper amount of silicon element, such as improving the biocompatibility, friction performance and hardness of the diamond-like film, and the silicon transition layer and the silicon-doped diamond-like film are used for carrying out overlapped plating, so that the combination of the Si element doped in the diamond-like coating and atoms in the Si transition layer is tighter, the internal stress of the whole diamond-like coating is reduced, and the bonding force between the whole composite coating and a matrix is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating can effectively prevent Al and V elements in the TC4 material from exuding in a human body, promote cell adhesion and proliferation, reduce friction force on the surface of the TC4 material and the like, and avoid the diffusion of grain boundary ions to surrounding tissues caused by the corrosion of the physiological environment on the surface of the TC4 material, thereby causing the degeneration of the properties of the implant material.
As a preferable scheme, the silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating is formed by alternately superposing 2-10 silicon transition film layers and 2-10 silicon-doped diamond-like film layers. The silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating is further preferably formed by alternately superposing 3-5 silicon transition film layers and 3-5 silicon-doped diamond-like film layers. If the film layers are too few, the purpose of improving the surface wear resistance and hardness of the TC4 material is difficult to achieve, and if the film layers are too many, the bonding capability between the composite coating and the TC4 material matrix can be reduced, so that the coating is easier to peel off.

The silicon doping amount in each silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is reduced from the inner layer to the outer layer, so that the biocompatibility of the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer at the outermost layer can be better improved while the binding force between the whole composite coating and the TC4 material matrix is effectively improved.
As a preferable scheme, the total mass percentage content of silicon in the silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating is 2-40%, and the mass percentage content of silicon in the outermost silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is not higher than 10%. The silicon doping amount is increased within a proper range, so that the binding force between the composite coating and the TC4 material matrix can be effectively improved, and when the titanium mass percentage content in the outermost silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is higher than 10%, the biocompatibility of the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is reduced, so that the silicon content of the whole silicon-doped diamond-like composite coating and the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer on the surface should be controlled within a proper range.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the TC4 material with the wear-resistant surface and low biotoxicity, which comprises the steps of carrying out surface cleaning treatment on a TC4 matrix, and then plating a silicon transition film layer and a silicon-doped diamond-like film layer on the surface of the TC4 matrix alternately.

In the process of preparing the silicon film layer by unbalanced magnetron sputtering, the temperature can be controlled to be lower than 200 ℃, and the formed film coating layer is more compact, thereby being beneficial to improvementAnd the combination between the plated film layer and the matrix.
As a preferable scheme, the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is plated by a method combining unbalanced medium-frequency magnetron sputtering and direct current arc PECVD, and the conditions for plating the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer are as follows: ar gas flow is 10-100 sccm, gas carbon source flow is 20-100 sccm, vacuum degree is 1.0X10 -1 ~4.0×10 -1 Pa, the power of the ion source is 0.5-3 kW, the power of the Si target is 0.5-2 kW, the negative bias voltage of the workpiece is 50-800V, the coating time is 30-600 min, and the Si target power when the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is coated on any two adjacent layers is reduced by 0.1-0.3 kW compared with the Si target power when the silicon-doped diamond-like film layer is coated on the inner layer.
