Purpose: The aim of the work was to work out methods to improve biocompatibility of the Ti6Al7Nb alloy by creating thick, porous layer which ensure corrosion resistance and which could be a base for biological reactions leading to improvements in the tissue bond with the implant. Design/methodology/approach: Surface were prepared using electropolishing, thermal oxidation, thermal oxidation in TiO2 powder, anodic oxidation in NaH2PO4, in NaOH and sparkle oxidation in H2SO4+H3PO4. The roughness was examined using MSP and LPM. Corrosion resistance tests were carried out in SBF with pH values characterized for neutral, inflammatory and stagnation state. Topographical features were determined using confocal microscope. Findings: The surface treatments guarantee a smooth surface (low value of Ra and RZDIN) or porous surface structure and high corrosion resistance. Topographical parameters of the layer can be altered according to the duration of that process. The corrosion resistance of the specimens anodically oxidized in NaOH and sparkle oxidized possessed high corrosion resistance in SBF also in SBF with low and high pH value. Research limitations/implications: For the layers, further mechanical, chemical, biological and composition examinations are planed. Practical implications: The paper presents different surface treatments and their influence on corrosion and topographical properties and it could be useful for implant producers to take into consideration one of these methods. Anodic oxidation is a very simple method to ensure high corrosion resistance of implants. Originality/value: The paper presented new approaches to the surface preparation by sparkle oxidation in the acids and anodic oxidation in NaH2PO4 and NaOH at different parameters which haven’t previously been used. There were proposed thermal oxidation in TiO2 powder that was not presented before. The paper compares corrosion resistance and topographical features of the Ti6Al7Nb modified by the new proposed and commonly used techniques.
