The current study’s aim is to obtain quaternary ZrCuCa based thin films using a physical vapor deposition method (PVD) - cathodic arc approach – in order to improve the surface properties of 316L stainless steel and Ti6Al4V implantable materials. The developed ZrCuCa-based layers could be potential...
