In this work, the experimental investigation of the surface integrity and biomechanical properties of the superficial layer obtained by wire electrical discharge machining (W-EDM) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for biomedical application has been carried out. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the superficial layer have been investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. The micro-mechanical behavior in terms of compressive strength and surface hardness was studied using the micro-pillar and nano-indentation technique. The corrosion resistance and in vitro bioactivity have been investigated using electrochemical and immersion test. Morphological analysis showed that surface morphology and superficial layer thickness were affected by peak current, pulse-duration and pulse-interval. The niobium (Nb)-rich layer was developed in superficial layer zone. The low peak current (3–6[Formula: see text]A), low pulse-duration (5–10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]s) and high pulse-interval ([Formula: see text]s) have been recommended for better surface morphology and thin superficial layer (ranging from 4–6[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m) free from surface defects. The micro-pillar and nano-indentation results showed that the superficial layer comprised of a brittle structure that improved the mechanical properties of the layer and the compressive strength was measured to be 1198 MPa. The corrosion resistance analysis revealed that the Nb-rich layer in the superficial layer improved the corrosion resistance and bioactivity. Excellent apatite growth has been found in the W-EDM-processed zone. The W-EDM can be used for the biomedical industry as a potential surface engineering technique.

Nanostructured titania/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite layer was developed on commercially pure titanium (Cp Ti) implant material by plasma electrolytic processing (PEP) technique in order to improve its bioactivity and corrosion resistance under physiological conditions. The phases present in the developed composite layer were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The surface morphology and thickness of the composite layers were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The corrosion characteristics of the developed layer were studied by potentiodynamic polarization scan under simulated body fluid (7.4 pH Hanks solution) and simulated osteoclast (4.5 pH) conditions. The in-vitro bioactivity of the composite layers was studied by using Kokubu’s simulated body fluid (SBF) solution. The X-ray diffractograms reveal the presence of anatase TiO2 and HA phases in the developed layer. The SEM results confirm the pore-free morphology of the implant material surface and the thickness of the developed composite layer was observed to be 110 ± 5 µm for 12 min of PEP. The potentiodynamic polarization study shows an improved corrosion resistance and the in-vitro bioactivity test results indicate enhanced apatite forming ability of PEP treated Cp Ti surfaces compared to that of the untreated Cp Ti, under simulated body fluid conditions.
