Laser surface texturing and coating of Ti-6AI-4V for improving biocompatibility

The aim of this study is to understand what type of surface texture and chemistry after laser processing will have an effect on the biocompatibility of Ti-6AI-4 V. A number of laser techniques have been investigated to modify the surface properties including texturing, coating and heat treating. The...
