In its native state, Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be bulk metallic glass (BMG) do not allow strong physical bonding to the surrounding tissues when implanted, due to its inherent low strength bioinert oxide surface. In this study, a bioceramic oxides and strong carbide coating are synthesized on the Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be s...
