Abstract
⺠T-Nb2O5 and rutile are the main components of the oxidized β-TiNb alloy surface. ⺠Negative value of ζ potential is reduced by presence of Nb in the alloy surface. ⺠Less negative ζ potential is beneficial for interaction of the alloy with cells. ⺠The β-TiNb alloy is promising material as a substitute of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
