titanium aluminide and its alloys have been utilized in automotive, aerospace and power industries because of their specific properties such as low density (~ 4 g/cm3), high melting temperature (~ 1460 °c) and excellent high-temperature strength. ti-48al intermetallic compound and its alloys with 1.5, 3 and 5 at.%mn were produced with mechanical alloying of elemental powders for 50 hours. the p...

An investigation was made of the adhesion, growth and differentiation of osteoblast-like MG-63 and Saos-2 cells on titanium (Ti) and niobium (Nb) supports and on TiNb alloy with surfaces oxidized at 165°C under hydrothermal conditions and at 600°C in a stream of air. The oxidation mode and the chemical composition of the samples tuned the morphology, topography and distribution of the charge on...

The effect of the ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) on the rotary bending fretting fatigue (FF) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated. The reason for the USRP's ability to improve the FF resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied. The results revealed that the USRP induced a compressive residual stress field with a depth of 530 μm and a maximum residual stress of -930 MPa. Moreover, the su...

nowadays, titanium-based alloys are among the most attractive metallic materials for biomedical applications (as implants) due to their non-biodegradability, low density, good mechanical properties as well as their good biocompatibility. hydroxyapatite (ca10 (po4)6(oh)2, ha) has been widely used for biomedical applications due to its bioactive, biocompatible and osteoconductive properties. firs...

conclusion the myocardial grayscale intensity, velocity and displacement can effectively reflect the situation of steiri in patients after cardiac operation, and ti (cvi) has a higher performance in discriminating between patients with and without steiri. background the timely diagnosis of presence or absence of reperfusion injury after cardiac operation is critical for the patient’s outcome. w...

A sample having stoichiometry Li[Ti(1.5)Ni(0.5)]O(4) has been synthesized to obtain a spinel structure. The resulting crystalline powder revealed a multiphase nature with spinel as the minor phase. The main phase is a new trigonal phase having a = 5.05910 (1), c = 32.5371 (1) A. The structure has been solved by direct methods working on a three-dimensional set of intensities obtained from a pre...

A rough surface texture was found on laser sintered titanium substrate, which was responsible for instability of the calcium phosphate layer from the point of view of obtaining good adhesivity to the substrate at given preparation conditions. After the mechanical treatment and following soaking of Ti substrate in 3 M NaOH solution, the surface texture was much smoother than in the original samp...

The test parameters were selected as a direct result of a previous study.1 That work involved five Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projectors and two projectors based on Digital Light ProcessingTM technology. The sample size for this test was increased to seven LCD projectors and nine DLPTM projectors. Like the previous work, this study was supported by Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). TI pers...
