Corrosion Properties of Plasma Oxidized Titanium Nitride for Biomedical Applications

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article compares the corrosion properties of oxide layers formed on titanium nitride (obtained in glow-discharge nitriding) using electrolytic plasma oxidation. The corrosion properties are analysed in correlation with the surface morphology, microstructure and chemical composition of the layers. The oxidation processes were carried out in 10% and 25% phosphoric acid (V) solutions containing Ca2+ calcium ions. In each of these environments, oxide layers were formed using three oxidation potentials: 200V, 400V and 600 V. The oxidation potential and the concentration of acid and calcium ions in the oxidation solution was shown to affect the morphology of the surface and the corrosion properties of the oxide layers obtained.
