Titanium is a wonder metal, generally considered as one of the most biocompatible and
corrosion resistant metals available for clinical applications. Since 1951, when …

The electrochemical corrosion behaviors of Ti–6Al–4V implant alloy were studied in three
biological fluid solutions, ie urine, serum and joint fluid. For comparison, the corrosion …

Abstract Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5 titanium alloy) is a widely used material for biomedical implant
and prostheses. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of surface and sub …

Nitrogen ions were implanted in high purity titanium at various doses. The nitride phase, TiN,
was identified using either grazing incidence X-ray analysis or transmission electron …

The aim of this paper is to study the effect of N+ ion implantation on corrosion and phase
formation on the implanted surfaces of Ti–6Al–4V and Ti–6Al–7Nb alloys. Nitrogen ion was …

In the present investigation, surface modification of Ti–6Al–7Nb alloy with nitrogen ions is
considered as a method to improve its performance with respect to corrosion. Nitrogen ion …

Laser surface nitriding of Ti–6Al–4V alloy was carried out with a Nd: YAG pulsed laser. The
microstructure and corrosion behaviour of the nitrided samples were examined, using SEM …

The effects of TiC on the mechanical and corrosion properties of a TiC reinforced Ti 5 Si3
nanocomposite coatings were investigated in comparison to a Ti 5 Si 3 nanocrystalline …

Titanium is one of the most important materials for medical applications, as a result of its
uniquely high biocompatibility. The effect of nitrogen implantation on the biocompatibility …
