Abstract
The aim of this work was to improve the surface properties of cp-Ti Grade 2 and β-Ti alloy TNTZ (Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr) for biomedical applications. A hybrid surface treatment consisting of shot peening and chemical etching was conducted. Subsequently, the physicochemical properties and topography of the modified surfaces were analysed. Microhardness measurements of the shot-peened samples revealed a great increase in the surface hardness to the similar level as can be achieved for the ultrafine-grained and nanostructured materials. Roughness tests and microscopic observations showed significant topographical differences, depending on the material and modification process involved. Moreover, in this paper we demonstrate the influence of the substrate and treatments on the wettability. Obtained results confirmed that designed hybrid modification of Ti Grade 2 and TNTZ has significant potential for biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of refereed material on both the theory and practice of this important enabling technology, embracing science, technology and engineering. Coverage includes design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the final system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.
