Influence of corrosion behavior of Ti-based PVD coatings on 316L SS for biomedical implants.
Background316L stainless steel (SS) is widely used in biomedical implant applications because of its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. However, its long-term performance in physiological environments is limited by localized corrosion, ion release, and inade...
