Abstract

The oxynitriding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was realized by thermodiffusion saturation of non-stoichiometric titanium nitride by oxygen (P(O2) = 10−3 to 1 Pa). The oxygen content in TiNxO1−x increased by increasing P(O2) and it led to transformation into TiO2 as follows: TiN0.46O0.54 → TiN0.42O0.58 → TiN0.36O0.64 + TiO2. It caused an increase in the viability of pseudonormal human cells of HEK293T line after 8 days of testing. TiN0.36O0.64 + TiO2 coating exhibited normal morphology and provided 1.2-fold higher cytocompatibility compared to Ti-6Al-4V alloy. This coating can be recommended for further in-depth testing as bio-implant material.
