    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: 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. METHODS: 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. RESULTS: 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). CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that the TiN coating can improve the corrosion resistant to F-and the surface hardness of Ni-Cr alloy.
