Abstract
The effect of plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings on the fatigue properties of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al7Nb alloys under physiological conditions (Hank’s solution at 37 °C) has been investigated. The oxidized Ti6Al7Nb alloys showed an improved fatigue behavior as compared to oxidized Ti6Al4V alloys, irrespective of the coating thickness.
