摘要
Hip replacement stems manufactured from Ti6Al4V titanium alloy were surface treated in one of four ways and tested for dissolution resistance in bovine serum. Those stems treated thermally were found to have significantly lower metal ion release corn pared with those receiving standard commercial treatments. The improved dissolution behaviour is associated with a change in the surface oxide structure from mixed titanium oxides to a more stable rutile structure.
