Thesis Title: Enhancing biocompatibility of 316L stainless steel with TiO2 nano-powder using EDC.
The study focused on using electro-discharge treatment, also known as electro-discharge coating (EDC), a novel surface modification technique to modify the surface of medical-grade stainless steel 316L. The nano-sized TiO2 particles were incorporated in the dielectric medium to scrutinize the bioactivity of the substrate surface. Surface roughness, microhardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance was measured, and the results were compared to the base material. SEM was used to characterize the deposition of powder particles and equally dispersed micro-pores, and XRD analysis was used to confirm the development of carbides, silicides, and other bioactive compounds. Pin-on-disc wear testing and electrochemical testing were used to study the wear and corrosion behavior of the treated samples. From the in-vitro analysis, the improved wear resistance and corrosion resistance for the stainless steel 316L were validated when compared to untreated samples.
