Near-Net Forging of Titanium and Titanium Alloys by the Plasma Carburized SKD11 Dies

Titanium and Titanium Alloys as Biomaterials

Titanium Alloys

Although originally discovered in the 18th century [1], the titanium industry did not experience any significant advancement until the middle of the 20th century through the development of the gas turbine engine [2]. Since then, the aerospace sector has dominated worldwide titanium use with applications in both engines and airframe structures [3]. The highly desirable combination of properties,...

Titanium Alloys in Orthopaedics

Metallic implants are commonly used in the orthopedic field. Despite the large number of metallic medical devices in use today, they are predominantly make up of only a few metals. Metallic alloys such as titanium continue to be one of the most important components used in orthopaedic implant devices due to favorable properties of high strength, rigidity, fracture toughness and their reliable m...

Dental implant materials: commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys.

Manufacturers use six different titanium-based biomaterials to fabricate dental implants. Each of these materials, including four grades of commercially pure titanium and two titanium alloys, has distinct mechanical and physical properties. Clinicians should recognize these differences for optimal treatment planning and patient care.

Power-law creep in near-equiatomic nickel–titanium alloys

The compressive creep behavior of nickel-rich B2–NiTi (with 50–140 lm grain size) was studied over the stress range 3–11 MPa and the temperature range 950–1100 C. The stress exponent (n = 2.7) and activation energy (Q = 155 kJ mol ) are compared with a literature review of NiTi creep studies performed over lower temperature and/or higher stresses. Possible explanations for discrepancies between...
