Abstract

In this study, precipitation behaviors of hydroxyapatite on highly ordered nanotubular Ti-35Ta-xNb alloy surface were researched. Ta and Nb additions to Ti increased corrosion resistance. The surface characteristics of anodized alloy depended on the nanotube formed voltage and alloy element. The HA precipitation morphology was influenced by nanorubular structure of alloys.
