Enhanced mechanical properties and in vitro corrosion behavior of amorphous and devitrified Ti40Zr10Cu38Pd12 metallic glass.
Jordina Fornell,N. Van Steenberge,Aïda Varea,Emma Rossinyol,Eva Pellicer,Santiago Suriñach,Maria Dolors Baró,Jordi Sort +7 more
TL;DR: The anticorrosion performance of the Ti40Zr10Cu38Pd12 alloy in Hank's solution has been shown to ameliorate as crystallization proceeds and is roughly as good as in the commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

Multi-objective optimization of powder mixed electric discharge machining parameters for fabrication of biocompatible layer on β -Ti alloy using NSGA-II coupled with Taguchi based response surface methodology
TL;DR: In this paper, the application of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA)-II coupled with Taguchi based Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to predict the optimal conditions of powder mixed electric discharge machining (PMEDM) parameters to fabricate the biocompatible surface on β-phase Ti alloy.

Corrosion-wear of β-Ti alloy TMZF (Ti-12Mo-6Zr-2Fe) in simulated body fluid
TL;DR: The corrosion and wear properties of the TMZF alloy were investigated in simulated body fluid to identify the reason for the wear debris generation and recommendations are made for modifications that could be made to the TMZf alloy to improve the corrosion-wear response.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
