Abstract

This communication presents a novel technology to enhance the biocompatibility of bioinert Ti6Al4V alloy as implant materials for orthopaedic application. The surface of Ti6Al4V alloy was electrochemically activated in NaOH solution to create a porous structure with nanometer topographic features and an alkaline environment, thus promoting the formation of bone‐like hydroxyapatite coating and enhancing the bonding strength of the coating. This innovative activation process was proved to be effective and essential. The activated surface was confirmed to be pure TiO~2~ and the formed coating was characterized of pure hydroxyapatite with a nanometer‐scaled grain size structure by means of XPS, FESEM/SEM/EDX, XRD, and TEM techniques.

Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy has attracted increasing applications as a metallic biomaterial in recent years thanks to its good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, the poor corrosion‐wear resistance of the alloy is thus a major concern to potential users. In this paper, the electrochemical noise

## Abstract Stem modularity in total hip replacement introduces an additional taper joint between Ti‐6Al‐4V stem components with the potential for fretting corrosion processes. One possible way to reduce the susceptibility of the Ti‐6Al‐4V/Ti‐6Al‐4V interface to fretting is the surface modification
