High requirements in biomedical applications are yet to be met, equally in joint and bone
substitution and the healing and renewal of bone weaknesses. The compatibility with the …

During recent decades vast and continuously increasing numbers of biomedical implants
have been introduced for continuous use in the human body. Since the early cemented hip …

In the area of materials science, corrosion of biomaterials is of paramount importance as
biomaterials are required for the survival of the human beings suffering from acute heart …

Wear and corrosion behaviour of cold-rolled Ti–13Nb–13Zr alloy, with martensitic
microstructure, and Ti–6Al–4V ELI alloy, in martensitic and two-phase (α+ β) microstructural …

Dental implants made from binary titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloys have shown promise as a
high strength, yet biocompatible alternative to pure titanium, particularly for applications …

Metals, in addition to ceramics and polymers, are important class of materials considered for
replacement of non-functional parts in the body. Stainless steel 316, titanium and titanium …

Cyclic stresses are often related to the premature mechanical failure of metallic biomaterials.
The complex interaction between fatigue and corrosion in the physiological environment has …

The aim of this article is to review those aspects of corrosion behaviour that are most
relevant to the clinical application of implant alloys. The special modes of corrosion …

Corrosion resistance, wear resistance and biocompatibility of the studied Ti–Ta alloys with
Ta contents of 10, 30 and 70 mass% together with the currently used metallic biomaterials …

Most cast dental restorations are made from alloys or commercially pure titanium (cpTi).
Many orthodontic appliances are also fabricated from metallic materials. It has been …
