Implant surface properties of Ti6Al4V alloy that is currently used as a biocompatible material because of a variety of unique properties can be improved by a self-organized TiO2 layer. The TiO2 nanotubes forming on the titanium-based materials is a relatively recent technology for the surface properties modification and represents pronounced potential in promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation that facilitate an implant osseointegration. This work focuses on the influence of surface treatment quality and anodic oxidation parameters on the structure features and properties of TiO2 nanotube coatings. The nanotubes were formed on Ti6Al4V alloy substrates by simultaneous surface oxidation and controlled dissolving of an oxide film in the presence of fluorine ions. The anodization process on ground or polished samples was performed at experimental condition of 30 V for 1 h. The selected anodized samples were heat treated for 2 h at 500 °C under flowing argon. All samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. The corrosion rate in physiological solution reached 0.0043, 0.0182, and 0.0998 mm per year for the samples in polished and not-anodized, as-anodized, and anodized-heat treated conditions, respectively.
