Electropolished Titanium Implants with a Mirror-Like Surface Support Osseointegration and Bone Remodelling by Cecilia Larsson Wexell, Furqan A. Shah, Lars Ericson, Aleksandar Matic, Anders Palmquist, Peter Thomsen

“…This work characterises the ultrastructural composition of the interfacial tissue adjacent to electropolished, commercially pure titanium implants with and without subsequent anodisation, and it investigates whether a smooth electropolished surface can support bone formation in a manner similar to surfaces with a considerably thicker surface oxide layer. Screw-shaped implants were electropolished to remove all topographical remnants of the machining process, resulting in a thin spontaneously formed surface oxide layer and a smooth surface. …”

Hot corrosion resistance of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 coatings at 900 °C by Li Zhang, Qilu Ye, Yan Ji, Yunxin Wang, Bin Yang

“…By examining the grain size effects of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) coating and assessing the residual stress state on the coating surface, it is found that grain refinement significantly enhances grain boundary diffusion capability, reduces the critical concentration of elements required to form a protective oxide film, and strengthens the self-healing capability of the Al2O3 oxide layer. …”
