The excellent properties of Ti have resulted in its generalised use for bone implants. However, Ti is very stiff in comparison with human cortical bone, and this creates problems of bone weakening and loosening of the implant. This article discusses the mechanical properties (flexural and compressive strength, and stiffness) of porous Ti–6Al–4V specimens developed using the space holder method....

The production of customized Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental implants by electron beam melting technology makes it possible to mass produce customized dental implants which introduce a porous surface to promote better osseointegration. By fabricating the root-form implant and the abutment as one piece, the authors expect to eliminate fracturing at the abutment screw and prosthetic screw. This paper descri...

During thermal cycling through the a–b phase transformation under the action of a small external biasing stress, Ti alloys exhibit an average deformation stress exponent of unity and achieve superplastic strains. We report tensile experiments on Ti–6Al–4V with an applied stress of 4.5 MPa, aimed at understanding the failure processes during transformation superplasticity. The development of cav...
