Abstract

The surface oxide film and calcium-phosphate (Ca-P) formation on Ti–6Al–4V during long-term immer-sion in biological environments play a decisive role for the biocompatibility of the implant. Hence, theaim of the study was to evaluate the corrosion resistance, metal ion release and Ca-P formation in DMEMunder physiological conditions at pH values of 7.4 and in comparison under simulated inflammatory con-ditions with pH 5 and in presence of H2O2. Furthermore, the influence of the immersion conditions wasinvestigated on different surface treatments: on bare Ti–6Al–4V, after anodization, and for TiO2nanopar-ticle (NP) and hydroxyapatite (HA)-incorporated TiO2-NP coatings. In the absence of H2O2, the impedanceresponse indicated a stable thin oxide film and Ca-P formation after 28 days or 56 days depending onthe coating, while under inflammatory conditions the Ca-P formation on the surface is time-delayed anddissolution of the anodized oxide layer as well as selective etching of the β-phase and phase boundariesin case of the bare alloy occur. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), however, indicates a goodgeneral corrosion behavior in all cases. The quantities of Ti, Al and V released from the bare and coatedTi–6Al–4V alloy markedly increased with decreasing pH (pH ≤ 5). Although the rapid increase of metalrelease was observed for all samples at pH 5, the quantities were significantly higher for the bare andanodized alloy than after coating with TiO2-NP or HA.
