Effects of Alkali and Heat Treatment on Apatite Forming Ability of a Micro-Arc Oxidized Ti6Al4V Alloy
Abstract:
To further improve the bioactivity of Ti6Al4V alloy and to accelerate bone growth, the porous TiO2 coating containing calcium and phosphate prepared on Ti6Al4V alloy substrate using micro-arc oxidation (MAO) technique was treated in 5M NaOH aqueous solution at 60 °C for 24 h and followed by a heat treatment at 400 °C for 1 hour (termed as MAONH). The experimental results showed that Ca2+ and P5+ easily precipitated on the MAONH coating and formed a thicker apatite film. The reason could be ascribed to hydrolysis of CaTiO3, which resulted in appearance of large numbers of Ca2+ and OH- ions within coating.
