Abstract—It has been demonstrated that, with application of plasma methods of treatment of the surface of titanium alloys with subsequent selective chemical etching (on the example of the VT1-0 alloy), a microporous titanium–based structure is formed. The results of laser and electroarc treatment of the surface have been presented, and its composition, size, and pore structure have been determined.
