Corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of this multi-functional material was investigated in phosphate buffer solution at body temperature. Bio-functionalization drastically improved the corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of the unreinforced and reinforced samples, where the bio-functionalized beta-type titanium alloy matrix composite presented the best tribocorrosion behavior due to the load-carrying role of the hard reinforcement phase that gave a support to the functionalized surface layer.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMetal matrix compositesMicro-arc oxidationCorrosionTribocorrosionImproved Tribocorrosion Behavior on Bio-Functionalized Β-Type Titanium Alloy by the Pillar Effect Given by Tin ReinforcementsArticle2-s2.0-8510375255810.1016/j.surfcoat.2021.127122
