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 …

In modern history, metals have been used as implants since more than 100 years ago when
Lane first introduced metal plate for bone fracture fixation in 1895 (Lane, 1895). In the early …

Titanium alloys have emerged as the most successful metallic material to ever be applied in
the field of biomedical engineering. This comprehensive review covers the history of titanium …

The influence of surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) on the corrosion behaviour of
AISI 409 grade stainless steel in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. SMAT using 2mm∅ 316L stainless …

Besides other important material features, the corrosion parameters and corrosion products
