Abstract

A method is provided for the nanostructuring and oxidation of a surface, which has an anodizable metal and/or an anodizable metal alloy, both being coated with an oxide layer, by way of a laser or particle radiation in an inert or reactive atmosphere and subsequent anodization. As a result, oxide nanostructures are formed on the entire surface, in titanium or titanium alloys in the form of nanotubes.
