Electrochemical Properties of Ti-6A1-4V ELI Alloy after Anodization

摘要

Techniques of surface modification are very important in forming final physicochemical properties and biocompability of titanium alloys. Quality of surface layer is determined by metallic ions infiltrating to body fluid and tissue environment. Performing anodization process as a final technological treatment we could minimalizing that effect. A prior mechanical treatment which could be performed in different ways, we can influence final properties. Different variants of mechanical treatment connected with anodization process require insightful quantitative evaluation. Especially surface final physicochemical properties are need to be checked in order to assess the effectiveness of metallic ions infiltration blocking on the reservoir layer, what is strongly bounded with the initiation and development of implant corrosion process. The aim of the work were the research on ways and conditions and surface treatment of Ti-6A1-4V ELI alloy for physicochemical properties to implantation applications.
