In order to develop a novel kind of antibacterial Cu-containing TiN film with good corrosion resistance, impressive mechanical properties, and low cytotoxicity, three differently designed multilayer films of TiCu/TiCuN multilayer (M1, M2, M3) were deposited on the surface of 316L stainless steel surface using the axial magnetic field-enhanced arc ion plating (AMFE-ARP) method, in which the interlayer of TiCu was first introduced for Cu-containing TiN film in order to improve comprehensive properties, especially the corrosion resistance of the film. The performance of the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer films was compared with that of the two single layers, TiN and TiCuN, which were deposited by the same method and the same total deposition time. The results indicated that the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer film of M2 revealed the best comprehensive corrosion resistance with low electric current values, high pitting potential, and high polarization resistance due to the proper thickness of TiCu interlayers and larger number of TiCu/TiCuN bilayers. In addition, the TiCu/TiCuN multilayer film of M2 also possesses comparable mechanical properties, excellent antibacterial and antibiofilm abilities, as well as good biocompatibility. Consequently, the antibacterial TiCu/TiCuN multilayer films with good corrosion resistance deposited by using the axial magnetic field-enhanced arc ion plating (AMFE-ARP) method are promising for application in biomedical antibacterial film for implants.
