The invention discloses a method for preparing a 
Cu doped TiN alloy layer on the surface of a 
titanium alloy, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, placing a base material and a target material into a 
plasma surface alloying furnace, carrying out pre-
sputtering processing on the surface of the 
titanium alloy, and removing surface stains and a 
passivation layer; then, simultaneously, starting a source 
electrode and a workpiece 
voltage, carrying out 
sputtering on the source 
electrode through 
argon ions and carrying out deposition and 
diffusion on 
metal ions so as to form a Cu-containing alloy layer on the surface of the 
titanium alloy; and finally, feeding 
nitrogen gas into the furnace, and carrying out 
thermal insulation on the obtained product so as to form a 
Cu doped TiN alloy layer on the surface of the 
titanium alloy. A modified layer on the surface of a 
titanium alloy has a good sterilization effect, the surface 
hardness is significantly improved, and the 
wear resistance is significantly improved; and the method is simple in operation, good in 
repeatability and low in cost, and can be widely used for improving the antibacterial and wear-resisting properties of the surface of the 
titanium alloy.
