Electrochemical Surface Treatment of a β-titanium Alloy to Realize an Antibacterial Property and Bioactivity

In this study, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) was performed on a β-type titanium alloy, namely, Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy (TNTZ), to improve not only its antibacterial property but also bioactivity in body fluids. The surface oxide layer formed on TNTZ by MAO treatment in a mixture of calcium glycerophosp...
