Among the various metallic implant materials, titanium (Ti) alloy is the best choice for the
long-term hard body tissue replacements such as hip and knee joints. It has excellent …

Metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites have been employed in joint arthroplasty with
ever increasing success since the 1960s. New materials to repair or replace human skeletal …

To enhance the wear resistance and friction-reducing capability of titanium alloy, a process
of laser cladding γ-NiCrAlTi/TiC+ TiWC 2/CrS+ Ti 2 CS coatings on Ti–6Al–4V alloy …

This study aims to investigate the effects of duplex surface treatment consisting of plasma
nitriding and DLC coating on the fatigue properties of Ti6A4V alloy. For this investigation …

Tribological, electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behaviour of bare and nitrided
Ti6Al4V alloy was studied. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction and …

This study aimed to investigate the dependence of electrochemical behavior upon the
microstructural evolution of Ti 2 AlC MAX phase coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. The …

Low wear resistance and the relative high Young's modulus reduce the lifetime of the current
biomedical Ti alloys for orthopaedic applications. In this study, two novel low-cost β-Ti alloys …

In this study, layered Ti6Al4V/316L substrates were formed by Laser Powder Bed Fusion.
TiO 2 ceramic layers were produced on the Ti6Al4V/316L structures by an anodic oxidation …

Ti and its alloys exhibit combination of unique properties for biomedical applications,
however their poor tribo-electrochemical behaviour is a major concern. Therefore, TiN …

Ti6Al4V alloy has been widely used as a suitable material for surgical implants such as
artificial hip joints. Although this alloy is biocompatible, its wear resistance is inadequate …
