Medical titanium material It refers to titanium alloy materials used for medical device manufacturing. As a special material, medical titanium material is mainly used for implantation in human body, such as artificial joint, bone plate, dental implant, etc. Therefore, its anti-corrosion performance is required to be very high. In this paper, the anti-corrosion of medical titanium materials will be discussed in depth, and how to achieve anti-corrosion of medical titanium materials will be introduced.
First, the corrosion resistance of medical titanium materials is relatively good. Medical titanium material is made of pure titanium or titanium alloy through special process, which has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various corrosive media, such as the acid and alkali contained in human body fluid, blood, body fluid, etc. This is mainly because medical titanium materials have good chemical stability and material uniformity, which makes them have good corrosion resistance.
Secondly, the surface treatment of medical titanium enhances its anti-corrosion performance. For the manufacturing process of medical titanium materials, the surface is generally treated to improve its anti-corrosion performance. Common treatment methods include mechanical polishing, electrolytic polishing, acid etching, etc. Mechanical polishing is to remove the oxide film and roughness on the titanium surface by mechanical grinding to make the surface more smooth, reduce the contact area with corrosive media, and thus reduce the possibility of corrosion; Electrolytic polishing is to use the electrolytic principle to make the titanium surface undergo redox reaction under a certain voltage to remove the surface oxide layer and enhance its corrosion resistance; Acid etching treatment is to remove surface oxides and increase the corrosion resistance of titanium materials through chemical reaction between acid medium and titanium surface.
In addition, medical titanium materials can also be coated to enhance their corrosion resistance. Common coating materials include bioactive coating, calcium phosphate coating, zirconia coating, etc. These coating materials have good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, which can further protect the surface of medical titanium materials from corrosion media. In addition, the coating can also promote the combination of medical titanium materials and human tissues, and improve the biocompatibility of implant materials.
To sum up, there are three main ways to achieve anti-corrosion of medical titanium materials: first, improve its corrosion resistance through excellent chemical stability and material uniformity; The second is to enhance its anti-corrosion performance through surface treatment, such as mechanical polishing, electrolytic polishing, acid etching, etc; The third is to protect the surface of medical titanium materials by coating to improve its anti-corrosion performance.
It should be noted that the anti-corrosion performance of medical titanium materials needs not only to be verified under laboratory conditions, but also long-term observation and verification in clinical practice. Only through scientific and rigorous experiments and clinical verification can the anti-corrosion performance of medical titanium materials meet the requirements of clinical application and provide reliable guarantee for patients' health.
