A group of new Ti-7Mn-xNb alloys with Nb contents varying from 0 to 10 wt% were fabricated
by conventional press and sinter powder metallurgy processing from blended elemental …

Laser surface alloying of Ti6Al4V with different Cu contents (6, 8, 13 and 17 wt%) was
successfully achieved using a high-power diode laser. With a higher Cu content, the grain …

An implant is a device fixed surgically into a human body and its surface integrity possess a
strong influence on the success rate of implantation. Titanium (Ti) alloy considered as …

Very often, pure Ti and (α+ β) Ti-6Al-4V alloys have been used commercially for implant
applications, but ensuring their chemical, mechanical, and biological biocompatibility is …
