Thermal activation of Ti(1-x)Au(x) thin films with enhanced hardness and biocompatibility

The lifetime of orthopaedic implants can be extended by coating the softer Ti(6)Al(4)V alloy with harder biocompatible thin films. In this work, thin films of Ti((1-x))Au((x)) are grown on Ti(6)Al(4)V and glass substrates by magnetron sputtering in the entire x = 0–1 range, before their key biomecha...
