What is it about?

NiTi alloys exhibit good properties like shape memory behavior, high corrosion resistant, having the closest elasticity modulus of a human bone, superior biocompatibility properties e.i. However, the surface problems that arise during the use of this alloy limits the usage in the industry and health sector. In recent years, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) method is used to improve the surface properties and increase the usage of these alloys.
