Abstract

In this study surface behaviour of sand blasted and acid etched ultra-fine grained Ti13Zr13Nb specimens were investigated. Surface characters are a crucial factor that effect osseointegration performance of implants. Ti13Nb13Zr specimens were processed by means of hydrostatic extrusion technique. The effect of the grain size and surface modification on the surface roughness and topography were systematically investigated with stylus-profilometer and scanning electron microscope.
