Abstract

Recently, nanoscale tubular oxide layers on titanium alloys have attracted considerable research interest due to their potential application in various fields such as implant engineering, solar energy conversion, etc. In the present study, we have investigated the ion dissolution behavior of titanium alloys coated with a layer of nanotubular oxide in Ringer's solution as a function of post-heat treatment temperature. The results of the study showed that post-heat treatment had significant influence on the ion dissolution behavior of nanotubular titanium alloys.
