This analysis reveals improved biocompatibility and mechanical traits after EDM surface modification of Ti-6Al-4V.

EDM processing significantly improved the surface roughness of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by up to ~304%.
Vickers microhardness reached a peak of 1520 HV in the recast layer, indicating enhanced mechanical properties.
All treated samples were classified as non-cytotoxic according to ISO 10993-5, suggesting increased safety for biomedical applications.
Modified surfaces displayed improved wettability with a lower water contact angle, enhancing hydrophilicity.

Santos et al. (2025) studied this question.
