Nitric acid passivation of Ti6A14V reduces thickness of surface oxide layer and increases trace element release

Abstract: Passivation of Ti6Al4V and cpTi implants using methods based on the ASTM-F86 nitric acid protocol are used with the intention of reducing their surface reactivity, and consequently the corrosion potential, in the highly corrosive biologic milieu. The ASTM-F86 passivation protocol was originally developed for surgical implants made of stainless steel and chrome cobalt alloy. Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to examine the effect of nitric acid passivation on the surface oxide layer of mill-annealed … Show more

“…GIXRD spectra of untreated P1 and P2 foams; after 7 and 14 days of SBF immersion. the other hand, nitric acid treatment was shown not to affect the surface roughness, but decreased the thickness of the naturally formed oxide layer on the surface [26,27] and increased the surface energy [15]. In the present study, the AFM surface roughness values of NAT foams are nearly the same with those of untreated foams, agreeing with the results of Lu et al [15] and Sittig et al [28].…”

“…Then they were washed 2 times with acetone by ultrasonication for 10 min and 4 times with ultrapure water for 10 min. Each titanium disk was immersed in ultrapure water at 37°C for 12 h and ultrasonicated for 2 min; this water was analyzed by graphite furnace atomic adsorption spectrophotometry (GFAAS) [10][11][12][13]43 to confirm that no titanium debris produced during the preparation remained on the disk. After sterilization by autoclaving at 121°C for 20 min, each disk was settled into the well of a 24-well microplate with a silicone rubber tip inserted into the gap between the disk and the inside wall of the well to fix the disk in place.…”

“…4). The latter material is free of aluminum and vanadium, which are suspected to be toxic when used as a biomaterial for implants or devices [17,18]. The modest increase in density (10%) is unimportant for biomedical applications, while the decrease in modulus is beneficial to reduce stress shielding in implants [19].…”
