The study aims to enhance the biocompatibility of Ti-6Al-4V alloy through novel surface texturing techniques.
Utilized wire electrical discharge machining to fabricate micro pillar and cylindrical surfaces.
Employed Response Surface Methodology with a Box-Behnken design for optimization of machining parameters.
Analyzed surface morphology and conducted antibacterial evaluation.
Optimized parameters achieved minimum kerf width of 319.60 μm and overcut of 34.80 μm with less than 5% deviation.
Square microarray surfaces reduced bacterial adhesion to 97 CFU, indicating an 88% reduction.
Cylindrical structures demonstrated approximately 61% reduction in bacterial growth compared to untreated surfaces.
