Abstract:The main objective of this paper is to produce an anodic layer of TiO 2 rich in calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium using the anodizing technique known as micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on the Ti-25Ta alloy together with the incorporation of silver (Ag), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) metallic ions using different electrolytes. The structural changes and microstructures on the MAO surfaces were analyzed using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition to verify … Show more
