초록

The purposed of this work was to observe hydroxyapatite precipitation phenomena on micro-pore formed Ti-Nb alloy by PEO technique. The Ti-30Nb and Ti-30Ta alloys were remelted at least ten times in order to avoid inhomogeneity, and then cylindrical specimens (diameter 10 mm, thickness 4 mm) were cut by using laser from cast ingots of the Ti alloys. Heat treatment was carried out at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h for homogenization in argon atmosphere. The morphologic change of the alloys were examined by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM).
