It presents the results of examining the geometrical structure of the surface, nanohardness\u0000and tribological tests. The surface’s geometrical structure was tested through optical microscopy, and\u0000nanohardness was determined using the instrumental indentation method with a Berkovich indenter. The\u0000modelling tribological tests were performed in a reciprocating motion under the conditions of technically dry\u0000friction and with lubrication using Ringer's solution. An analysis of the results of tribological tests indicates\u0000that the films were characterised by lower motion resistances and wear with respect to the Ti13Nb13Zr\u0000alloy. Hardness measurements indicate that, as a result of deposition of the films, the hardness increased by\u0000approximately 51% in the case of the Al2O3 film and by approximately 44% in the case of the TiO2 coating.\u0000The produced test results constitute a source of knowledge about the Ti13Nb13Zr alloy, oxide films and the\u0000possibilities of their potential application to low-load biotribological systems.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":35004,"journal":{"name":"Tribologia: Finnish Journal of Tribology","volume":"2015 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86217642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
