Ti–6Al–4V scaffolds were fabricated by powder metallurgical space holder technique in this research. The most added magnesium (Mg) powder was evaporated and a skeleton of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was produced. For this purpose Ti-6Al-4V and Mg powders mixture compacted in a steel die by applying uniaxial pressure of 500 MPa before sintering the green product in a sealed quartz tubes at 900 °C for 2 hour...

The production of customized Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental implants by electron beam melting technology makes it possible to mass produce customized dental implants which introduce a porous surface to promote better osseointegration. By fabricating the root-form implant and the abutment as one piece, the authors expect to eliminate fracturing at the abutment screw and prosthetic screw. This paper descri...

Biological fixation of uncemented endosseous implants requires the apposition of bone onto implant’s surface in a process named osseointegration [1]. The present study examined bone tissue response to Ti-6Al-4V alloy implanted into the rat femurs over a long time range (3 days to 6 months). The progression of implants fixation in the cancellous bone of distal epiphysis and within the medullary ...

A recently developed ultra-hard boride-based material, AlMgB14, has been fabricated into a standard cutting tool geometry (TPG-222) and tested using single-point turning of Ti-6Al-4V. The initial testing was conducted to compare this new cutting tool’s performance relative to a WC-Co cutting tool. During the tests the boride-based inserts suffered catastrophic failure for a wide range of cuttin...

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 pure titanium (Ti) and Ti–6Al–4V extra low interstitial (ELI) alloy were investigated for biomedical applications. Corrosion resistance was measured by an anodic polarization test using an automatic potentiostat in ...
