description Titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) have been extensively researched for their enhanced biomedical characteristics, including biocompatibility, cell apposition, and growth morphology. However, there is a significant concern in metallic medical devices owing to micro-movements between implants and bone in aggressive environments due to wear and corrosion synergies, leading to adverse body responses and implant failure. In this study, TNTs on Commercially Pure titanium (C.P. Ti) with three different thickness layers were grown to correlate their corrosion and wear behavior. Initially amorphous after anodization, TNTs underwent annealing at 450 °C for 2 h to transform the distorted, into a crystalline structure. The characterization included X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and contact profilometry. Potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and tribocorrosion tests were conducted in Simulated Body Fluid Electrolyte (SBF). SEM micrographs showed TNT thickness layers of 314, 691, and 5280 nm, and X-ray Diffraction showed anatase transformation post-annealing. Results confirmed a significant influence of TNT thickness layers on corrosion and tribocorrosion properties, with higher current density obtained from PD for thicker TNTs layers, associated with surface fluorine content. During tribocorrosion, annealed samples demonstrated lower corrosion tendency, potential drop, and coefficient of friction. Morphology of worn surfaces and volumetric wear rate varied with TNT thickness layer and thermal treatment.
