Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are widely used for the manufacture of dental implants and orthopedic prostheses due to suitable properties such as zero toxicity, good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The addition of niobium (Nb) to commercially pure Ti (cp-Ti) can results in elastic moduli lower than Ti. So in this work the elastic modulus of Ti-Nb alloys with 10% and 20%, in weight submitted to anodic oxidation (AO) has been investigated to verify how to obtain elastic modulus closer to bone. The AO has been realized using phosphoric acid as electrolyte applying a voltage of 250V/60s. Elastic modulus values were obtained using instrumented indentation technique. The results indicated that it was possible to obtain Ti-Nb alloys with lower elastic modulus values compared with cp-Ti.
