Tribo-mechanical properties and cellular viability of electrochemically treated Ti-10Nb and Ti-20Nb alloys

A number of researches have been concerned about the development of β-type titanium alloys because they can present good biocompatibility, non-cytotoxicity, suitable mechanical and corrosion resistance behavior. However, due to their chemical inertness property, the surfaces of the novel Ti alloys must be modified by different methods to improve their bioactivity. This work is focused on the electrochemical surface modification of Ti-10Nb and...
