Anodised titanium has a long history as a coating structure for implants due to its bioactive
and ossified surface, which promotes rapid bone integration. In response to the growing …

Unavoidable issues of micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coated Al alloys are the micro-defects and
residual stress generation. Some scientists have reported the effects of micro-defects and …

Preparation of coatings with excellent properties is an effective way to address poor wear
and corrosion resistance of aluminum (Al) alloys. Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings …

Metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings were fabricated on Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy by laser
cladding. Co42 self-fluxing powder, B 4 C, SiC and Y 2 O 3 were employed as the cladding …

A comparison of PEO layers on Ti6Al4V alloy formed in phosphate, aluminate and silicate-
based electrolytes respectively, has been made to reveal the influence of the electrolyte …

Deposition of bioactive and degradable coatings on titanium implants before implantation is
objectively to create a biologically-inspired surface that can enhance cell anchorage at the …

Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) has a negative effect on the fatigue performance of
titanium alloys. To reduce/eliminate this influence, the effect of an ultrasonic surface rolling …

This article presents a review on recent advances in the fatigue behavior of Ti alloys,
especially the main commercial compositions for orthopedic applications. In the case of well …

Sodium aluminate (NaAlO 2) concentration was varied in order to understand the influence
of the chemical composition of electrolyte on the spark characteristics, microstructure, and …

Metallic implants have been successfully used in medicine for the past 60–70 years.
Historically, implants were designed only as mechanical devices, whereas the biological …
