STUDY DESIGN In vitro fatigue loading using a corpectomy model outfitted with posterior pedicle screw instrumentation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to detect differences in fatigue resistance of titanium and stainless steel spinal constructs that use rods contoured using a French Bender, and to compare differences in fatigue resistance of contoured and straight titanium rods. SUM...

this paper was aimed to report the 3d finite element analysis simulation of laser welding process of ti6al4v 1.7 mm sheets in butt joint in order to predict the temperature distribution, hardness, and weld geometry. the butt-joint welds were made using co2 laser with the maximum power of 2.2 kw in the continuous wave mode. a part of the experimental work was carried out to verify the weld geome...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether increasing the Ti6Al4V surface oxide negative charge through heat (600℃) or radiofrequency plasma glow discharge (RFGD) pretreatment, with or without a subsequent coating with fibronectin, stimulated osteoblast gene marker expression in the MC3T3 osteoprogenitor cell line. METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was u...

BACKGROUND High strength porous titanium implants are widely used for the reconstruction of craniofacial defects because of their similar mechanical properties to those of bone. The recent introduction of electron beam melting (EBM) technique allows a direct digitally enabled fabrication of patient specific porous titanium implants, whereas both their in vitro and in vivo biological performance...

Nowadays, salt consumption appears to be drastically above the recommended level in industrialized countries. The health consequences of this overconsumption are heavy since high-salt intake induces cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, and stroke. Moreover, harmful interaction may also occur with orthopaedic devices because overconsumption of salt reinforces the corrosive aspect of biolo...

Abstract Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding, petrochemical, and other industrial fields. Low-speed wire-cut electrical discharge machining (LS-WEDM) has the advantage of high accuracy. However, there are few research studies on comprehensive effects parameters TC4 (Ti6Al4V) made by LS-WEDM surface. This paper focuses titanium investigates surface roughness, kerf wi...

Titanium alloys such as Ti6Al4V is amongst the most widely studied metallic materials in broad context of metal 3D printing. Although mechanical performances are well understood, acoustic performance printed Ti6Al4V, and ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) has received limited attention literature. As such, this study investigates normal incidence sound absorption coefficient ( α ) Sound Transmission ...

Lubricating-reinforcing composite coatings were successfully prepared on Ti6Al4V using laser-clad Ti6Al4V/Ni60/Ni-MoS2 mixed powders with different Ni-MoS2 contents (25, 35, and 45 wt.%), their microstructure tribological properties studied. The reinforcing phase TiC, Ti2Ni, the lubricating Ti2SC in situ precipitated while Ti2Ni formed a mosaic coherent structure within above three coatings. In...

Different methods have been evaluated for manufacturing the porous Ti6Al4V alloys according to decreasing stress shielding phenomenon and increasing mechanical compatibility between the metallic components and the host tissue. For this purpose, in this work Ti6Al4V alloy chips were pressed under 400 MPa pressure and then samples were categorized and heated into two groups at 1000 and 1150℃ unde...
