SURFACE OXIDATION OF Ti-6Al-4V FOR BIO-IMPLANT APPLICATION
Keyword(s):
The present study aims at enhancing the wear resistance and biocompatibility of Ti -6 Al -4 V by forming a thin layer of oxide. Surface oxidation has been carried out by controlled heating of the surface of Ti -6 Al -4 V substrate in air at the temperature ranging from 400–600°C and time from 25–60 h. The phase formed under thermal oxidation was predominantly the rutile and anatase phase. The thickness of the oxide layer varied from 1.5–7.0 μm. The microhardness on the surface was significantly improved as compared to the as-received substrate. Both the corrosion resistance property and biocompatibility were improved.
