This paper illustrates the results obtained by the application of a set of treatments on titanium (Ti2) and Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti5) samples. Mechanical treatments mainly affect the dimension of larger defects, acting on a macrometric scale and inducing specific patterns; chemical treatments (i.e., acid attack at room or higher temperature) can dissolve surface material altering defect dimensions on a micrometric scale. This study may represent a useful tool for the rational design of implant surface characteristics.

Abstract
This paper illustrates the results obtained by the application of a set of treatments on titanium (Ti2) and Ti6Al4V alloy (Ti5) samples. Mechanical treatments mainly affect the dimension of larger defects, acting on a macrometric scale and inducing specific patterns; chemical treatments (i.e., acid attack at room or higher temperature) can dissolve surface material altering defect dimensions on a micrometric scale. This study may represent a useful tool for the rational design of implant surface characteristics.File in questo prodotto:
