    The objective of this study was to improve the corrosion resistance of an A535 alloy by removing intermetallics on the alloy surface by alkaline etching to improve the morphologies and properties of the anodic film that was sealed with different sealants. It was found that alkaline etching for 4 min was suitable for dissolving intermetallic particles and simultaneously providing sufficient roughness for the adhesion of an oxide film to the Al matrix. The effect of alkaline etching revealed that a decrease in the intermetallic fraction from 21% to 16% after etching for 2 and 4 min, respectively, corresponded to the increase in the surface roughness, thickness, and consistency of the anodic film. It was also demonstrated that the surface morphology of the anodic films after stearic acid sealing was more uniform and compact than that after nickel fluoride sealing. The electrochemical polarization curves and salt spray test proved that the alloy etched for 4 min and sealed with stearic acid had better corrosion resistance as compared with the aluminum alloy sealed with nickel fluoride.

    Surface treatment of titanium (Ti) surface has been extensively studied to improve its properties for biomedical applications, including hydrophilicity, corrosion resistance, and tissue integration. In this present work, we present the effects of thermal oxidation as surface modification method on metallic titanium (Ti). The Ti foils were oxidized at 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C under air atmosphere for 3 hours, which formed oxide layer on Ti surface. The physicochemical properties including surface chemistry, roughness, and thickness of the oxide layer were evaluated in order to investigate how these factors affected surface hydrophilicity, microhardness, and corrosion resistance properties of the Ti surface. The results revealed that surfaces of all oxidized samples were modified by formation of titanium dioxide layer, of which morphology, phase, and thickness were changed according to the oxidized temperatures. Increasing oxidation temperature led to the formation of thicker oxide layer and phase transformation of anatase to rutile. The presence of the oxide layer helped the improvement of corrosion resistance and microhardness. The most improvement in surface roughness was found in the specimens treated at 400°C, which significantly improved surface hydrophilicity. But both surface roughness and hydrophilicity reduced when oxidized at 500°C and 600°C, suggesting that hydrophilicity was dominated by the surface roughness. In addition, this surface treatment did not reduce the biocompatibility of the metallic Ti substrates against murine osteoblasts (MC3T3).
