New low modulus β-type titanium alloys for biomedical applications are still currently being developed. Strong and enduring β-type titanium alloy with a low Young's modulus are being investigated. A low modulus has been proved to be effective in inhibiting bone atrophy, leading to good bone remodeling in a bone fracture model in the rabbit tibia. Very recently β-type titanium alloys with a self...

To address the trade-off between strength and electrical conductivity, we propose a strategy: introducing precipitated particles into a structure composed of deformation twins. A Cu-0.3%Zr alloy was designed to verify our strategy. Zirconium was dissolved into a copper matrix by solution treatment prior to cryorolling and precipitated in the form of Cu5Zr from copper matrix via a subsequent agi...

Zirconium alloys are commonly used as a cladding material for fuel elements in nuclear reactors. This application is connected with zirconium alloy’s good resistance to water corrosion and radiation under normal working conditions. In the case of severe accident conditions, possibly very fast oxidation steam or/and air atmosphere may result intense generation hydrogen explosion oxide mixture. T...

PURPOSE To investigate the cause of failure in matte-surface cemented stems in second-generation metal-on- metal total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Records of 26 men and 11 women (39 hips) aged 29 to 72 years who underwent primary cementless THAs by a single surgeon using second-generation metal-on-metal prostheses and were followed up for a mean of 122 (range, 120-141) months were reviewe...

The present study employed a tungsten pH microelectrode to the formation of trivalent chromium conversion (TCC) coatings on Al, AA 2024-T3 aluminum alloy and AZ91D magnesium in SurTec ChromitAL solutions. had sensitivity –60 mV/pH peak final values for pre-treated 2024 were 4.9 3.5, 4.3 4.1, 4.7 respectively. initial value is great importance influencing coating deposition-driven force thicknes...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The osseointegration of dental implant is related to their composition and surface treatment. Titanium zirconium (TiZr) has been introduced as an alternative to the commercially pure titanium and its alloys as dental implant material, which is attributed to its superior mechanical and biological properties. Surface treatments of TiZr have been introduced to enhance their os...

Porous titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are important scaffold materials for bone tissue engineering. In the present study, a new type of porous Ti alloy scaffold with biocompatible alloying elements, that is, niobium (Nb) and zirconium (Zr), was prepared by a space-holder sintering method. This porous TiNbZr scaffold with a porosity of 69% exhibits a mechanical strength of 67 MPa and an elastic mod...

In this work, we investigated a novel Al-Mg-Si alloy, which was developed from an AA 6082, in order to considerably improve the yield and tensile strengths whilst retain excellent ductility. The new alloy possesses higher content of Si than specified by and, addition, it contains copper zirconium. characterized as-cast condition, after homogenization, extrusion, T6 heat treatment using light mi...
