Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are amongst the most commonly-used biomaterials in orthopedic and dental applications. The Ti-aluminum-vanadium alloy (Ti6Al4V) is widely used as a biomaterial for these applications by virtue of its favorable properties, such as high tensile strength, good biocompatibility and excellent corrosion resistance. TiO₂ nanotube (NTs) layers formed by anodization on Ti6Al...

OBJECTIVES Anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. We have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of H9C2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS Surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Control a...

Anodizing is commonly used for corrosion protection of aluminum and its alloys in the construction industry. The anodic oxide (AAO) coating has a high ability to prevent development extensive pitting substrates, particularly marine sites, as was observed during 10-year atmospheric study carried out several industrial sites. However, this also evidenced that can be highly affected by deposition ...

A new series of MW-class, RF loads were developed that can dissipate power levels exceeding 1.5 MW at frequencies from 28 GHz to 180 GHz. The are designed reflect less than 0.25% the input and operate continuously (CW). Stainless-steel anodized aluminum versions developed. stainless steel version is meet requirements for nuclear facilities, such as ITER, while capable 2 CW. also lighter expensi...

fe49co33ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 oe and 0.58 to200 oe and 0.105, respectively), indicating the increase in m...
