Abstract
The surface oxide film formed on Ti-6Al-4V and its stability in biological environments play a decisive role for the biocompatibility of implants. In this study, passive oxide films formed on Ti-6Al-4V surfaces and their natural growth in a Ringer's solution have been investigated by microhardness and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
