Thin films of ReN were synthesized by DC sputtering at different nitrogen pressures (120, 140, 160, and 180 mTorr) on silicon Ti6Al4V substrates. The coatings evaluated for their microstructural mechanical properties. Additionally, the biocompatibility electrochemical properties studied using Hanks’ lactate solution 37 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed formation cubic with higher content. optimized pressure (180 allowed complete phase ReN. Regarding behavior, significantly improve corrosion resistance, reducing rate as content increases, reaching 0.0145 µm/year mTorr. properties, deposited presented an optimal combination hardness elastic modulus highest contents. Cell viability was assessed comparing uncoated coated samples a live/dead staining assay, demonstrating coatings. To complement this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used to analyze protein–coating interaction cell morphology surface samples.
