Hybrid Process of Microarc Oxidation and Hydrothermal Treatment of Titanium Implant

摘要

A duplex process was proposed with which a titania containing calcium and phosphate on the surface of titanium alloy was formed by microarc oxidation in aqueous electrolytes, and finally converted to bioactive layer containing hydroxyapatite by subsequent hydrothermal synthesis. The layer is porous in micro scale and composed of crystals in nanometer size. There was no distinct interface between the hydroxyapatite layer and the substrate.
