ZrC coatings were fabricated on 316L stainless steel (316L SS) by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at different substrate temperatures (T-s). The phase configuration, microstructure and mechanical properties of ZrC coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), TriboIndenter hardness tester and scratch tester. The corrosion resistance in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and the hemocompatibility of ZrC coatings were evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization and platelet adhesion test. The XRD results indicated that the microstructure of ZrC coatings was affected by T-s. The ZrC phase with (111) preferred orientation was formed when T-s was 400 degrees C, which exhibited in the form of particulates with the crystallite sizes of about 5 nm. AFM results showed that with the increase of T-s, the root-mean-square (Sq) values of the ZrC coatings decreased and the distribution of the particle size became narrower. The results of nano-indentation tests indicated that T-s has no effect on the hardness and elastic modulus of ZrC coatings. The scratch test results demonstrated that ZrC coatings deposited above 200 degrees C exhibited good adhesion performance. The potentiodynamic polarization and platelet adhesion test results showed that the ZrC coatings deposited at T-s of 200 degrees C and 400 degrees C possessed better corrosion resistance and hemocompatibility than those deposited at T-s of 25 degrees C. It is indicated that the hemocompatibility of ZrC coatings deposited on the 316L SS was influenced by the surface roughness, hydrophilicity and the surface energy of the coating.
