Surface modification of highly porous titanium by plasma treatment
Natália de Freitas Daudt,Natália de Freitas Daudt,Martin Bram,A. P. Cysne Barbosa,Clodomiro Alves +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, highly porous titanium foams were produced by warm compaction of MIM feedstock with the addition of space holder in a heatable die and plasma treatment was performed on the Ti foams before the final sintering step aiming to increase the open pores at the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innovative antibacterial coating by anodic spark deposition
TL;DR: In this article, the development of a titanium oxide coating containing silver particles was reported, and the coating was obtained on medical grade Ti-6Al-4V alloy by anodic spark deposition in an aqueous electrolyte.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Ti2Cu precipitation on antibacterial property of Ti-5Cu alloy.
TL;DR: To instill pure Ti with an antibacterial effect, Cu was added by metallurgical alloying to produce Ti-5 wt% Cu alloy (Ti-5Cu alloy), which exhibited better antibacterial performance as the duration of the aging treatment increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of processing parameters on microstructures of TiO2 coatings formed on titanium by plasma electrolytic oxidation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of duty ratio, frequency, and positive/negative pulse proportion on the microstructure and phase compositions of the TiO2 coatings were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of alloying elements on the elastic properties of bcc Ti-X alloys from first-principles calculations
TL;DR: In this article, the single crystal elastic stiffness coefficients (cij) for five binary systems with the body centered cubic lattice of Ti-X (X = Mo, Nb, Ta, Zr, Sn) using first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory.

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.

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.
