## Abstract Corrosion of implant alloys releasing metal ions has the potential to cause adverse tissue reactions and implant failure. We hypothesized that macrophage cells and their released reactive chemical species (RCS) affect the alloy's corrosion properties. A custom cell culture corrosion box

Surface modification of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) by nitrogen implantation at the energy 120 keV with doses ranging from 1 × 10 16 to 1 × 10 18 N + /cm 2 have been investigated from the tribological point of view. Implantation of nitrogen ions was performed in two different ways: (a) when no carbon
In this work, the in situ interaction between Ti-6Al-4V alloy and osteoblastic cells has been studied by electrochemical techniques as a function of time. The interaction has been monitored for cell adhesion and growth of human osteoblastic Saos-2 cells on Ti-6Al-4V samples. The study has been carri
