Abstract
An increase in bone-implant contact and an increase in surface hydrophilicity are the two important factors involved in improving osseointegration. Therefore, three-dimensional elliptical vibration turning method is applied to increase the hydrophilicity of titanium surface by the generation of hierarchical nano- and micro-textures. That being the case, face turning process at different cutting conditions is carried out in this research. Surface roughness and the contact angle of water drops with machined surfaces were selected to be measured for the analysis of surface hydrophilicity. The results show that an additional surface area can be achieved by the generation of micro- or nano-textures, resulting in a lower contact angle. Furthermore, intermittent movement of cutting tool in vibration cutting causes the process to be more stable, achieving the desired range of surface roughness.
