The β-type Ti alloys composed of non-toxic alloying elements (Ta, Mo, Nb and Si) have received extensive attention in dental applications not only because of its excellent mechanical properties but also due to better biocompatibility compared to other implant materials. However, the implant material is not only governed by the bulk of the material, but also by its surface properties, which can be optimized by applying of the anodization process, where nanotubes can be obtained. In this study, new β-Ti alloys, Ti-10Mo-(0, 0.5, 1.5)Si, were arc melted, homogenized at 1000 °C for 8 h and water quenched, and then anodized at 5, 10, 20 and 40 V for 6 h with the intention of evaluating the influence of Si on the microstructural and mechanical behavior and, in particular, on the electrochemical behavior, that in this case it was also analyzed the influence of the potential. The results show that the addition of Si led to reduction in ω precipitates, thus making β more stable, on the other hand, Ti3Si silicides were formed. Si addition also favored alloys grain refinement and helped to increase their hardness. The highest corrosion resistance in SBF was obtained in the alloy containing 0.5% of Si. The wide range of potentials (5–40V) allowed to prepare disordered, nanoporous and nanotubular oxide layers on the alloys. The anodized alloys had higher corrosion resistance than the alloys without surface modification, whose best response was found in the anodized Ti-10Mo-0,5Si alloy.
