Abstract
NiTi shape memory alloys have large potential in orthopedic implants due to their unique shape memory and superelastic properties. The biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of the materials can be improved by the formation of a homogeneous titanium oxide layer on the surface which can be prepared by different methods. In this work, we studied the effects of the oxide layers formed by oxygen plasma immersion ion implantation (O-PIII) and atmospheric oxidation on the wear properties of NiTi shape memory alloys. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to characterize the surface and the pin-on-disk test was used to evaluate the effects of O-PIII and oxidation on the wear properties of the NiTi alloys. Our results indicate that both O-PIII and atmospheric oxidation can improve the wear properties but the samples modified by O-PIII possess better anti-wear characteristics.
