In this study, the surface of commercially pure titanium (Cp-Ti) was covered by a 21–95 µm-thick aluminum oxide layer using plasma electrolytic oxidation. Coating characterization revealed the formation of nodular and granular α- and γ-Al2O3 phases with minor amounts of TiAl2O5 and Na2Ti4O9 which yielded a maximum 49.0 GPa hardness and 50 N adhesive critical load. The corrosion resistance behavior in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution of all plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings was found to be two orders of magnitude higher compared to bare Ti substrate.

Bioactive coatings on VT1-0 commercially pure titanium were formed by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). A study of the morphological features of coatings was carried out using scanning electron microscopy. A composition of formed coatings was investigated using energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry analysis. It was shown that PEO-coatings have calcium phosphate in their composition, which increases the bioactivity of the surface layer. Electrochemical properties of the samples were studied by potentiondynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in different physiological media: simulated body fluid and minimum essential medium. The data of electrochemical studies indicate more than 15 times decrease in the corrosion current density for the sample with coating (5.0 × 10−9 A/cm2) as compared to the bare titanium (7.7 × 10−8 A/cm2). The formed PEO-layers have elastoplastic properties close to human bone (12–30 GPa) and a lower friction coefficient in comparison with bare metal. The wettability of PEO-layers increased. The contact angle for formed coatings reduced by more than 60° in comparison with bare metal (from 73° for titanium to 8° for PEO-coating). Such an increase in surface hydrophilicity contributes to the greater biocompatibility of the formed coating in comparison with commercially pure titanium. PEO can be prospective as a method for improving titanium surface bioactivity.

The paper compares the coatings produced by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) on commercially pure titanium and a novel superelastic alloy Ti-18Zr-15Nb (at. %) for implant applications. The PEO coatings were produced on both alloys in the identical pulsed bipolar regime. The properties of the coatings were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PEO process kinetics was modeled based on the Avrami theorem and Cottrell equation using a relaxation method. The resultant coatings contain TiO2, for both alloys, and NbO2, Nb2O5, ZrO2 for Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy. The coating on the Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy has a higher thickness, porosity, and roughness compared to that on cp-Ti. The values of the kinetic coefficients of the PEO process—higher diffusion coefficient and lower time constant for the processing of Ti-18Zr-15Nb—explain this effect. According to the electrochemical studies, PEO coatings on Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy provide better corrosion protection. Higher corrosion resistance, porosity, and roughness contribute to better biocompatibility of the PEO coating on Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloy compared to cp-Ti.

The paper presents results of investigation of biocompatible coatings on VT1-0 commercially pure titanium formed using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method. The effects of samples with different surface treatment on the functional activity of cells innate immunity have been studied. The study of enzymes has showed the higher stimulation of cellular metabolism during the first hour of contact with the PEO-coating in comparison with the uncoated titanium. The smallest immunostimulatory influence has been obtained for PEO-coating. It has been established that PEO-layers on titanium affect the functional state of cellular processes accompanying bone mineralization.

A self-lubricating plasma electrolytic oxidation–polytetrafluoroethylene (PEO–PTFE) composite coating was successfully fabricated on the surface of commercially pure titanium by a multiple-step method of plasma electrolytic oxidation, dipping and sintering treatment. The microstructure and tribological properties of the PEO–PTFE composite coating were investigated and compared with the PEO TiO2 coating and the PTFE coating on titanium. Results show that most of the micro-pores of the PEO TiO2 coating were filled by PTFE and the surface roughness of PEO–PTFE composite coating was lower than that of the PEO TiO2 coating. Furthermore, the PEO–PTFE composite coating shows excellent tribological properties with low friction coefficient and low wear rate. This study provides an insight for guiding the design of self-lubricating and wear-resistant PEO composite coatings.

Abstract RMI 0.2% Pd is a grade of commercially pure titanium to which up to 0.2% palladium has been added. It has a guaranteed minimum yield strength of 40,000 psi with good ductility and formability. It is recommended for corrosion resistance in the chemical industry and other places where the environment is mildly reducing or varies between oxidizing and reducing. The alloy has improved resistance to crevice corrosion at low pH and elevated temperatures. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-74. Producer or source: RMI Company.
