Micro/nanoscale multistructures of oxide layers on Ti6Al4V achieved by acid etching and induction heating for high osteogenic activity in vitro

Current development of nano/microscale modification technology of Ti-based implants was focused on the acceleration of ossification and consequent reduction of immunological rejection after implantation. Here, we rationally designed and produced the multistructures with microscale etched pits and nanodot-like oxide crystallites using, a two-step method, HF/HCl etching and induction heating treatment (IHT). IHT oxidation achieved the initially...
