Anodization and Titanium Surface Topography
Abstract: Purpose The aims of this study was to explore the effect of anodization on titanium surface topography (roughness) using different alectrolyte separately at different voltages. Materials and methods Pure polished titanium discs were subjected to anodization, the anodization procedures were performed using two different electrolytes separately, 1 M H2SO4 or 0.05wt % HF in a beaker. A DC electrical power supply was used. Different voltages were used. Polished titanium surfaces were used as a control. Surface roughness was measured using profilometry. Topography was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results Surface roughness for anodization in HF electrolyte showed a steady increase in Ra value with each voltage increment to the maximum value of 110 V was observed. Highly significant differences were found between Ra values of titanium anodized at 110 V and the other groups (P
