The aim of this study was to evaluate the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of Ni-Cr alloy after coating titanium nitride (TiN) in oral containing fluorine environment.
Physical vapor deposition was established to coat titanium nitride (TiN) on the surface of dental cast Ni-Cr alloy to form TiN/Ni-Cr compound. Both Ni-Cr alloy and TiN/Ni-Cr compound were exposed to 37 degrees centigrade, artificial saliva containing 0.24% NaF. The polarization curves of the specimens were measured by PARSTAT 2273 electrochemical station to investigate its corrosion resistance. Vicker's hardness was measured by HXD-1000TMC/LCD micro-hardness tester to investigate its wear resistance. Statistical analysis was performed by SAS 8.2 software package for Student's t methods.
The corrosion potential of Ni-Cr alloy was -362.407 mV, the corrosion current density was 1.568μAcm(-2),the blunt-breaking potential was 426 mV bofor TiN coating. The corrosion potential of TiN/Ni-Cr compound was -268.638 mV, the corrosion current density was 0.114μAcm(-2),the blunt-breaking potential was 1142 mV after TiN coating. Polarization curves showed TiN/Ni-Cr compound improved the corrosion potential and blunt-breaking potential, decreased the corrosion current density. The Vicker's hardness of Ni-Cr alloy was 519.75±27.27 before TiN coating, the Vicker's hardness of TiN/Ni-Cr compound was 803.24±24.64, the D-value between them was 283.49±39.34. The difference of Vicker's harnesses between Ni-Cr alloy and TiN/Ni-Cr compound had significant (P<0.01).
The results demonstrate that the TiN coating can improve the corrosion resistant to F-and the surface hardness of Ni-Cr alloy.

本研究旨在评估在含氟口腔环境中氮化钛(TiN)涂层后镍铬合金的耐腐蚀性和耐磨性。
采用物理气相沉积法在牙科铸造镍铬合金表面涂覆氮化钛(TiN),形成TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料。将镍铬合金和TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料置于37摄氏度、含0.24%NaF的人工唾液中。通过PARSTAT 2273电化学工作站测量试样的极化曲线,以研究其耐腐蚀性。用HXD-1000TMC/LCD显微硬度计测量维氏硬度,以研究其耐磨性。采用SAS 8.2软件包进行Student's t检验的统计分析。
TiN涂层前,镍铬合金的腐蚀电位为-362.407 mV,腐蚀电流密度为1.568μAcm(-2),致钝电位为426 mV。TiN涂层后,TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料的腐蚀电位为-268.638 mV,腐蚀电流密度为0.114μAcm(-2),致钝电位为1142 mV。极化曲线表明,TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料提高了腐蚀电位和致钝电位,降低了腐蚀电流密度。TiN涂层前镍铬合金的维氏硬度为519.75±27.27,TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料的维氏硬度为803.24±24.64,两者之间的D值为283.49±39.34。镍铬合金与TiN/Ni-Cr复合材料的维氏硬度差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。
结果表明,TiN涂层可提高镍铬合金对氟的耐腐蚀性和表面硬度。本研究得到上海市科学技术委员会科研基金(项目编号:08DZ2271100)、上海市重点学科项目(项目编号:S30206)和上海市卫生局科研基金(项目编号:2009074)的资助。
