Surface pre-treatments of Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta beta titanium alloy: The effect of chemical, electrochemical and ion sputter etching on morphology, residual stress, corrosion stability and the MG-63 cell response

Pre-treatment methods for titanium alloys are of great importance, both as regards the treatment of the surfaces of the implant and as regards the pre-deposition phase of the coating processes and the surface modifications. We have investigated the impact of chemical, electrochemical and ion sputter...
