Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors with an average 10-year survival rate of 40%-55%. Current treatment options include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and gross total resection (GTR) of the tumor. The extent of resection (EOR) plays an important role in improving surgical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • Plasma nitriding was performed on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy (TA), resulting in modified samples named TAPN, which exhibited improved mechanical and wear resistance properties compared to the untreated TA samples.
  • Characterization techniques such as XRD, microscopy, and nanotribology indicated that the TAPN samples had significantly higher nanohardness, Young's modulus, and overall wear resistance.
  • The TAPN samples also showed about 11% higher cell viability than the TA alloy, likely due to the development of a surface-hardened layer containing hard ceramic phases, making them suitable for bioimplant applications.

AISI 316L is a well known biocompatible, austenitic stainless steel (SS). It is thus a bio-steel. Considering its importance as a bio-prosthesis material here we report the plasma nitriding of AISI 316L (SS) followed by its microstructural and nanotribological characterization.
