The different physical responses of austenite (γ) and ferrite (α) iron structures upon nitriding
result in technical challenges to the uniform modification of α-γ materials, as the super …

Rough and porous titanium oxide layers, which are important features for improving the
osseointegration of Ti implants with bone tissues, are obtained through the technique of …

Porous TiO 2 coatings were produced on commercially pure Ti substrates by micro-arc
oxidation (MAO) in 1.0 MH 2 SO 4 electrolyte for different anodizing times. Their mechanical …

The combination of shot blasting (SB) and micro-arc oxidation (or anodic oxidation—AO) in
titanium surfaces was shown to provide enhanced conditions for cell differentiation and …

Anodic oxidation is a technique widely used to improve the bioactivity of Ti surface. In this
study, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) was used to obtain an anodic film incorporating Ca and P …

Supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) are commonly employed in the oil exploitation
industry and present a good balance between the necessary physical and chemical …

Plasma nitriding of pure niobium was investigated using a dc square waveform pulsed
power supply of 5.0 kW, aiming to change the material surface characteristics due to heating …

Alkali-heat treatment (AHT) is a simple and practical method to make titanium surfaces
bioactive. Hydroxyapatite nucleates on Ti when in contact with body fluids due to the …

Among titanium alloys with non-toxic elements, the Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy has good elastic
behavior for applications in osseous implants, biocompatibility, and excellent corrosion …

The influence of roughness on the results of indentation testing was investigated using a
semianalytical model. This model used simulated surfaces that were described using three …
