Abstract

Self-organized nanoporous and nanotubular oxide layers can be synthesized on a wide range of transition metals by anodization in fluoride-containing electrolytes. In particular, self-organized TiO2 nanotubular layers have attracted intense attention due to their diverse fields of applications. Anodization of titanium alloys also has been reported, in order to utilize self-organized oxide nanostructures to biomedical titanium alloys for improved biocompatibility and bone conductivity and also to introduce the other element than titanium into TiO2 nanotube matrix for enhanced performance in various applications. In this presentation, we show anodization of titanium alloys, focusing on composition and microstructure of the alloys.
