ZrN coating as a source for the synthesis of a new hybrid ceramic layer

Congratulations to the team led by Roman Gabor and their groundbreaking work on ZrN coatings for orthopedic implants.

We’re excited to see how LiteScope AFM-in-SEM played an important role in helping them analyze the surface topography and corrosion resistance of their hybrid ceramic layers. It’s always rewarding to see LiteScope contribute to advancing materials science research.

Their study investigates the innovative use of ZrN coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy for bone implants, improving both the corrosion potential and wear resistance. The coatings created using PVD and MAO technologies offer promising applications in medical devices.
