Surface Layer Formed by Selective Oxidation in High-Purity Copper-Titanium Binary Alloys

Hydroxyapaptite Layer Formation on Titanium Alloys Surface Using Micro-arc Oxidation

In recent years, research on titanium and its alloys had increased significantly for hard tissue replacement and dental applications due to their excellent mechanical properties such as high strength to weight ratio, low density and biocompatibility. However, there are some surface originated problems associated with titanium (Ti): poor implant fixation, lack of osseoconductivity, wear and corr...

Stresses induced in alloys by selective oxidation

Consider a substitutional solution of two metallic elements A and B. When the alloy is exposed to air at an elevated temperature, A oxidizes, but B does not. In the alloy, the two elements diffuse in opposite directions, but usually at different rates; the nonreciprocal diffusion is known as the Kirkendall effect. At the oxide-alloy interface, metallic atoms may either emit from or inject into ...

High-strength age hardening copper–titanium alloys: redivivus

In this review the decomposition of supersaturated Cu–Ti solid solutions and subsequent microstructural evolution are discussed in terms of modern views of precipitation from solid solution. This update is motivated by an anticipated emergence of these alloys as technologically significant high-strength, high-conductivity, precipitation hardened alloys over the next decade replacing conventiona...

Selective atomic layer deposition of titanium oxide on patterned self-assembled monolayers formed by microcontact printing.

We demonstrate a selective atomic layer deposition of TiO2 thin films on patterned alkylsiloxane self-assembled monolayers. Microcontact printing was done to prepare patterned monolayers of the alkylsiloxane on Si substrates. The patterned monolayers define and direct the selective deposition of the TiO2 thin film using atomic layer deposition. The selective atomic layer deposition is based on ...
