Enhancement of the tribological performance and surface wettability of Ti6Al4V biomedical alloy with boric/sulfuric acid anodic film

Titanium and its alloys have many advantages such as acceptable biocompatibility and good corrosion resistance and these advantages make them a widely preferred biomaterial. However, it is also known that they have some disadvantages such as poor wear resistance and insufficient surface wettability. Therefore, to overcome this disadvantages, boric/sulfuric anodic films with different anodization time was formed on the surface of Ti6Al4V. The...
