Hardware and software complex for microarc oxidation of medical devices
Abstract
Obtaining biocompatible microarc oxide coatings on titanium and magnesium implants is currently difficult due to the imperfection of the technical means used for coating. In particular, microarc oxidation units operating on sinusoidal current are built on an outdated electronic component base and have limited functionality. Work purpose – development of a hardware and software complex for microarc oxidation of medical devices made of titanium and magnesium alloys with sinusoidal current, which has increased functionality. A hardware and software complex has been developed that allows for microarc oxidation in sinusoidal current modes with the ability to switch the oxidation current without interrupting the processing process, smoothly adjust the ratio of anode and cathode current, and measure the impedance of a galvanic cell. The developed software and hardware complex can be used to obtain biocompatible microarc oxide coatings on medical devices made of magnesium and titanium, for example, dental and orthopedic implants.
