A Porous TiAl6V4 Implant Material for Medical Application

A Porous TiAl6V4 Implant Material for Medical Application

Increased durability of permanent TiAl6V4 implants still remains a requirement for the patient's well-being. One way to achieve a better bone-material connection is to enable bone "ingrowth" into the implant. Therefore, a new porous TiAl6V4 material was produced via metal injection moulding (MIM). Specimens with four different porosities were produced using gas-atomised spherical TiAl6V4 with d...

Porous Titanium for Dental Implant Applications

Recently, an increasing amount of research has focused on the biological and mechanical behavior of highly porous structures of metallic biomaterials, as implant materials for dental implants. Particularly, pure titanium and its alloys are typically used due to their outstanding mechanical and biological properties. However, these materials have high stiffness (Young’s modulus) in comparison to...

ER Stress Mediates TiAl6V4 Particle-Induced Peri-Implant Osteolysis by Promoting RANKL Expression in Fibroblasts

Wear particle-induced osteolysis is a major cause of aseptic loosening, which is one of the most common reasons for total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure. Previous studies have shown that the synovial fibroblasts present in the periprosthetic membrane are important targets of wear debris during osteolysis. However, the interaction mechanisms between the wear debris and fibroblasts remain largely...

Cell Based Deformation Calculation for Porous Material

This paper deals with the calculation of full-field displacement over a surface of metallic foam. Owing to the failure of traditional displacement measurement method which calculates the correlation of intensity pattern between two regions, we propose a cellular based full field displacement calculation. The nodes are extracted from the cell boundary and nodal displacement is found by a thin pl...
