This work investigated the wear behavior of ultrafine-grained Ti65Nb23. 33Zr5Ta1. 67Fe5
(at.%, TNZTF) and Ti65Nb23. 33Zr5Ta1. 67Si5 (at.%, TNZTS) alloys fabricated by high …

For bone implants, β‑titanium alloy is promising mainly due to its low modulus of elasticity;
the disadvantage may be the insufficient wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties …

This study focuses on the relationship between porosity, surface roughness, microstructure,
strength, and thermal properties, as well as their effect on the bioactivity and …

In order to improve material service life under a fatigue and corrosion coupling environment,
a high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) Cr3C2–NiCr coating with a bonding layer was prepared …
