Bioactive Film Generation during Titanium Alloy Cutting in Oxygen-Enriched Atmosphere

Article Preview

Abstract:

The oxide film on implant surface of biomedical titanium alloy is crucial to its bioactivity and biocompatibility in human body. A new method is proposed to obtain titanium oxide film by cutting process in oxygen-enriched atmosphere. A gas mixing system is firstly developed to provide oxygen-argon mixed gas to the flank face of insert during turning. The results show that oxygen-enriched atmosphere promote the oxidation reaction of titanium element. Thicker oxide film can be obtained in oxygen-enriched condition than that in natural atmosphere. The corrosion resistance is also improved significantly by this method in electrochemical test.
