OBJECTIVE This research was designed to investigate the effects of low pressure radio-frequency (RF) oxygen plasma treatment (OPT) on the surface of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti6Al4V. Surface topography, elemental composition, water contact angle, cell viability, and cell morphology were surveyed to evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium samples with different lengths of OP trea...

Abstract Titanium carbonitrides Ti(C,N) coatings were prepared by plasma electrolytic nitrocarburizing in an solution containing ammonium nitrate, glycerol and ethanol. The coating consists of outer compound layer inner diffusion with a total thickness about 100μm. compounds consist amorphous TiO 2 . corrosion current density the is almost order magnitude lower than that Ti6Al4V substrate 3.5% ...

Article history: Received 1.11.2012 Received in revised form 10.12.2012 Accepted 10.12.2012 Based on the RNG k-ε model, the finite volume model of friction stir welding of Ti6Al4V alloy is established by ANSYS FLUENT software. The effect of rotational tool geometry on titanium alloy flow behaviour is exhibited. The results of numerical simulation show that the flow direction of material near th...

During laser-based additive manufacturing, powder is selectively fused layer by to achieve the desired shape. Powder also serves as an integrated support framework, allowing for a wide range of material alternatives. Selecting suitable whether it should be pure or composite such titanium-based alloy which have wider application in biomedical industries make surgical implants and orthodontic app...
