In this study, the effect of temperature on the morphology, crystalline structure, composition, and some mechanical and corrosion properties of thermally oxidized Ti-15Zr-Mo alloys was evaluated. Thermal oxidation treatments were performed in air, at temperatures between 773 K and 1173 K, for 21.6 ks. Phase composition was affected by the temperature and the substrate’s chemical composition, presenting distinct phase proportions of TiO2 (anatase and rutile) and ZrO2 (tetragonal and monoclinic). Morphology was composed mainly of a smooth inner layer with some islands in the outer layer, with average thickness ranging from 1 µm to more than 100 µm. Roughness and wettability values changed according to the oxide layer growth. Vickers microhardness exhibited a sharp increase due to the ceramic coating. The results indicated that an adequate combination of surface properties for biomedical applications could be achieved with the handling of thermal oxidation treatment parameters.
