anodized and non-anodized aluminum surfaces by PVD. For this purpose, a target for the
magnetron sputtering PVD system was prepared from a β-type Ti–29Nb–13Ta–4.6 Zr bulk
alloy via hot-forgings. Surface morphologies and elemental composition analysis of the
TNTZ-based PVD coatings were conducted using scanning electron microscopy attached
with an energy dispersive spectroscopy incorporated (SEM-EDS). A micro-scratch and …
