Abstract

The modern industry of medical materials production is experiencing significant development. On the one hand, this is due to the expanding of capabilities of treatment technologies that require new materials and their characteristics. In this case, problems like materials for medical instruments and for implants are actual. On the other hand, industrial technologies for the synthesis and processing of materials that can be used in medicine are developed. And although the choice is very large, stainless steels that contain chrome and titanium are still widely used. They have the necessary mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. One of the ways to succeed in creating such a modern medical material is surface modifying already existing metals and alloys. A promising direction in the synthesis of new materials using the modifying surface is the method of ionic implantation, the essence of which is the introduction of high-energy target ions in the surface layer and their accumulation with the subsequent creation of a surface film. Thanks to this the new distribution of surface energy and change of mechanical, physical-chemical, optical, and other characteristics of the processed sample are achieved. Therefore, in the work we investigated properties of stainless steel and steel ShKh15 as the materials that are widely used in medicine after the ionic implantation. It is shown that as a result of the ionic implantation the hardness and strength of the surface for steel 12Cr18Ni10Тi and steel ShKh15 was increased. It was established that the roughness decreased for both materials. It was shown that the corrosion resistance of stainless steel sample increased. Thus, ionic implantation has significant prospects as a technology for creating medical materials.
