Abstract
This study focuses on the effect of electrolyte concentration of the micro arc oxidation process on the surface morphology of a Ti6Al4V alloy. Micro arc oxidation was performed in "(CH3COO)2Ca.H 2O + Na3PO4" containing electrolytes. Micro arc oxidation developed a porous oxide layer mainly consisted of rutile form of titanium oxide on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy with some calcium titanate (CaTiO3) and Hydroxyapatite. The increase of CH 3COO)2Ca.H2O + Na3PO4 concentration of the electrolyte caused disappearance of the pores, reduction of surface roughness and decrease of wettability.
