Özet

Aluminium alloy AlCuMg is an alloy with high mechanical strength and fracture toughness, but it suffers from poor corrosion resistance and friction behaviour. With a combined process of sol-gel deposition of zirconium oxide and a top coating of diamond-like carbon formed by ion beam sputtering with a movable conical sputter target inside the tube, the inner walls of AlMgCu tubes were homogeneously coated with a duplex coating with high resistance against corrosion in chloride solution. When Ag was added to the carbon sputter target, a DLC coating that contained Ag was obtained. Microbial tests showed that the coating is effective against pathogenic E. coif bacteria.
