Abstract
This project involves the production and characterization of coatings (thin films) of titanium, niobium, and their binary alloys (TixNb1-x) deposited on AISI 316L steel and commercially pure titanium (Ti cp) substrates. The film growth will be carried out by magnetron sputtering, and the characterization, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (X)S), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diff…
