Abstract
Ti6Al4V alloy commonly used in human body for load bearing prosthesis was coated by micro arc oxidation (MAO) with magnesium rich TiO2 oxide. Since the presence of magnesium in bone tissues is known to promote bone formation and proliferation in physiological environment, its integration with TiO2 on implant surface could bring about a bioactivity for a fast bone formation and proliferation. The formation of a composite layer consisting of Mg integrated TiO2 by MAO process was carried out in an electrolyte with different magnesium content. The characterization studies of these coatings were performed by using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with EDS analysis and XP2 surface profilometry.
