The titanium implant was treated with plasma electrolytic oxidation and subsequent ionic exchange and thermal treatment in order to obtain bioactive layer consisting of titanium oxide, calcium and sodium titanates and hydroxyapatite, as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the given method, besides corresponding phase composition, enables suitable nanotopology for cell attachment and proliferation. Cytotoxicity investigations by MTT, LDH and propidium iodide assays and light microscopy showed that these coatings were not toxic to L929 cells.

<abstract> <p>To imitate the superior biocompatibility of Ti–Zr alloys at reduced cost, conventional Ti6Al4V alloy was modified via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). The influence of different additives on the phase composition and topography was investigated in acidic electrolytes containing Zr(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O with potentiostatically controlled PEO at different pulse frequencies. Apart from the primary intention to generate Zr enriched phases, formation and incorporation in the ceramic layer of potential antibacterial Cu and Zn species was achieved and examined by X-ray diffraction. The thickness of the oxide layer, the adhesion and the layers' composition were evaluated using FIB and SEM-EDX.</p> </abstract>

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) coatings were formed on aluminium alloy in additive Al2O3- and TiO2-containing Na2SiO3-based electrolytes, respectively. The effect of these additives on morphology, composition and wearing properties of coatings was investigated. The morphology and composition of coatings were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Analysis of wearing properties of coatings were done by friction and wearing experiment. It was found that the use of additives greatly affects the surface morphology of coatings. It is shown that the content of [Formula: see text]-Al2O3 in coatings formed in Al2O3-containing electrolytes increased with the addition of Al2O3. However, the content of [Formula: see text]-Al2O3 in coatings formed in TiO2-containing electrolytes first increased and then decreased. Among these coatings, the coating formed in silicate-based electrolytes system containing 7[Formula: see text]g/L Al2O3 showed the most superior wearing properties.

Anticorrosion layers were prepared on commercial Zr-2.5%Nb alloy by employing plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Microstructure and electrochemical behavior were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical metallography and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The obtained coatings are uneven, presenting a dominant monoclinic crystallographic phase of ZrO2. Enhanced corrosion resistance was attributed to the PEO-treated samples compared to the commercial black oxide coating.

The ceramic coatings were prepared on the T6-tempered Al6061 alloy substrate under a hybrid voltage by PEO treatment in 5-30 min in a phosphate electrolyte. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to investigate the coating microstructures. With increasing the PEO treating time, the different compositions of coatings eliminate the sharp slope of the microhardness profile. The coatings PEO-treated in 30min presents excellent abrasive resistance property.

Graphite-containing plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) composite coatings were prepared on Al alloy using periodically constant voltage, with addition of graphite in silicate electrolyte. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the coatings were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), the composition of the coatings was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra, the tribological properties of the coatings were evaluated on a tribometer. The results show that friction-reducing PEO composite coatings on Al alloy can be prepared in graphite-dispersed electrolyte using periodically constant voltage, the yielded coatings exhibit relatively lower and more stable friction coefficient.

Magnesium (Mg)/hydroxyapatite (HA) (10 wt.% and 20 wt.%) composites were prepared by using pure Mg and as synthesized HA powders using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The objective of the present study is to improve the corrosion resistance of spark plasma sintered Mg/HA composites and to ensure that the degradation time of these composites match with that of bone remodeling. Mg and HA powders were ball milled for 2 h and spark plasma sintered at a temperature of 475 °C and pressure of 40 MPa in vacuum. The sintered compacts were further treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in order to improve the corrosion resistance. The structural, microstructural and morphological studies were done using X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The corrosion resistance of as-sintered and PEO treated Mg/HA composites was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test in a 7.4 pH simulated body fluid (SBF) environment. The corrosion test results of as-sintered composites showed that the corrosion resistance decreases with the increase in percentage of HA in the composite. However, the PEO treated Mg/HA composites have shown delayed onset of degradation. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the PEO treated Mg/HA composites would serve as bioactive and biodegradable orthopedic implant materials with low corrosion rates.

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.
