Effect of Fe content on glass-forming ability and crystallization behavior of a (Ti69.7Nb23.7Zr4.9Ta1.7)100−xFex alloy synthesized by mechanical alloying
TL;DR: In this paper, the glass-forming ability and crystallization behavior of the synthesized alloy powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.

Experimental realisation of build orientation effects on the mechanical properties of truly as-built Ti-6Al-4V SLM parts
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel design has been developed that enables fabrication of straight undistorted horizontal parts via an SLM route with no post-processing steps, and thus the mechanical properties of horizontal Ti-6Al-4 V (Ti64) samples in their truly as-built condition have been reported and compared with their vertically built counterparts.

A Magnesium-Incorporated Nanoporous Titanium Coating for Rapid Osseointegration.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the new titanium metal coating with a dual effect of promoting bone morphology and supplying the biological ion Mg2+ can be beneficial for rapid osseointegration.

Projections of primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2030.
TL;DR: These large projected increases in demand for total hip and knee arthroplasties provide a quantitative basis for future policy decisions related to the numbers of orthopaedic surgeons needed to perform these procedures and the deployment of appropriate resources to serve this need.

Titanium alloys in total joint replacement—a materials science perspective
Marc Long,H.J Rack +1 more
TL;DR: This review examines current information on the physical and mechanical characteristics of titanium alloys used in artifical joint replacement prostheses, with a special focus on those issues associated with the long-term prosthetic requirements, e.g., fatigue and wear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of titanium, titanium alloys, and related materials for biomedical applications
TL;DR: A review of surface modification techniques for titanium and titanium alloys can be found in this article, where the authors have shown that the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and biological properties can be improved selectively using the appropriate surface treatment techniques while the desirable bulk attributes of the materials are retained.
Book
Principles and prevention of corrosion
TL;DR: In this article, the technology and evaluation of Corrosion is presented, with a focus on the effects of Metallurgical Structure on Corrosions, and a discussion of materials selection and design.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the mechanisms of biocompatibility.
TL;DR: It is shown that, in the vast majority of circumstances, the sole requirement for biocompatibility in a medical device intended for long-term contact with the tissues of the human body is that the material shall do no harm to those tissues, achieved through chemical and biological inertness.
